beneficially owned financial
"Aggregate amount beneficially owned by each reporting person 133,956,416.00"
Beneficially owned describes securities or assets where a person has the economic rights and control—such as the right to receive dividends and to direct voting—even if legal title is held in another name. Think of it like having the keys and using a car that’s registered to someone else: you get the benefits and make decisions. Investors care because beneficial ownership reveals who truly controls value and voting power, affecting corporate decisions and takeover dynamics.
open market transactions financial
"sold a total of 4,772,781 shares of Common Stock in open market transactions on March 30, 2026"
Open market transactions are the buying and selling of a company’s shares or other securities conducted on public exchanges or through the wider market rather than through private deals or negotiated placements. They matter to investors because these trades change supply and demand in real time—like shoppers affecting a store’s inventory—and so can move prices, signal management or investor sentiment, affect liquidity, and alter ownership stakes that influence future returns and risk.
Schedule13D regulatory
"amends and supplements the Statement on Schedule13D, dated March 27, 2014"
Restricted Stock Units financial
"vesting of Restricted Stock Units issued in 2025 as reported by the Company"
Restricted stock units are a type of company reward where employees are promised shares of stock, but they only fully own these shares after meeting certain conditions, like staying with the company for a set time. They matter because they can become valuable assets and are often used to motivate employees to help the company succeed.
