Beneficial Ownership Limitation regulatory
"the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding (the "Beneficial Ownership Limitation")"
A beneficial ownership limitation is a rule that caps the percentage of a company’s shares an investor can be treated as owning or controlling for voting, regulatory or tax purposes. It matters to investors because it can restrict how many shares a person or group can buy or vote, affect takeover chances, and influence share liquidity and value — like a speed limit that prevents any single driver from taking over the whole road.
Series X Preferred Stock financial
"shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of 47,957 shares of Series X Preferred Stock"
Schedule 13D regulatory
"This Amendment No. 5 (this "Amendment") to amends the filed by"
A Schedule 13D is a legal document that investors file with regulators when they buy a large enough stake in a company to potentially influence its management or decisions. It provides details about the investor’s intention, ownership stake, and plans, helping other investors understand who is gaining control and what their motives might be.
warrants financial
"an aggregate of 176,226 shares of Common Stock underlying warrants that are currently exercisable"
Warrants are special documents that give you the right to buy a company's stock at a set price before a certain date. They are often used as a way for companies to attract investors or raise money, and their value can increase if the company's stock price goes up.
Section 13(d) "group" regulatory
"any other person or entities with which such holder would constitute a Section 13(d) "group""
beneficially owned regulatory
"the percentage of outstanding shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons reflects"
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.

Why did Deerfield file Amendment No. 5 to its Schedule 13D on BiomX (PHGE)?

Amendment No. 5 was filed to update Deerfield’s reported ownership percentages in BiomX common stock. The change results solely from an increase in the number of BiomX shares outstanding, not from new purchases or sales by the reporting persons over the last 60 days.
