Key Terms

Class B Shares, voting proxy, in-kind pro rata distributions, beneficial ownership

4 terms

Class B Shares financial

"Each Class B Share is convertible at any time, at the holder’s election, into one Class A Share"

Class B shares are one type of a company’s stock that carries a specific set of rights — often different voting power or dividend rules compared with other classes. For investors, that affects influence over company decisions and potential income: owning Class B might mean fewer or more votes per share or different claim on profits, like having a different seat at a decision table or a different slice of the payout pie.

voting proxy regulatory

"UGP holds a voting proxy with respect to the 1,235,860 KKR-AKI Proxy Shares"

A voting proxy is a written authorization that lets a shareholder designate another person or group to cast votes on their behalf at a company meeting, like giving a trusted friend your ballot when you can't attend. It matters to investors because proxies determine who controls key decisions—such as electing directors, approving mergers or policy changes—so how proxies are allocated and used can materially affect a company's direction and shareholder value.

in-kind pro rata distributions financial

"in-kind pro rata distributions, without consideration"

beneficial ownership regulatory

"may be deemed to beneficially own the KKR-AKI Proxy Shares"

Beneficial ownership means the person or entity that actually enjoys the benefits of owning shares or other assets — such as receiving dividends, voting rights, or price gains — even if the legal title is held in another name. For investors it matters because knowing who truly controls and profits from a company reveals who can influence decisions, exposes potential conflicts of interest or hidden concentration of power, and affects transparency and risk in the stock.

Disclaimer Pursuant to Rule 13d-4 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), the filing of this Statement shall not be construed as an admission that any Reporting Person is, for purposes of Section 13(d) or 13(g) of the Exchange Act or for any other purpose, the beneficial owner of any securities covered by this Statement, including the KKR-AKI Proxy Shares, other than securities held of record by such Reporting Person.
