"The price listed is the weighted average sale price."

beneficial ownership financial

"Reporting person disclaims beneficial ownership of shares held by spouse."

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.

401k plan financial

"nature_of_ownership: 401k plan"

A 401(k) plan is an employer-sponsored retirement savings account that lets workers set aside part of their paycheck into investments, often with tax breaks and sometimes with matching contributions from the employer. Think of it as a workplace piggy bank that grows through employee contributions, optional company top-ups, and market returns; it matters to investors because it shapes household retirement security, drives large flows of money into public markets, and affects a company’s compensation costs and ability to attract and keep talent.
