open-market sale financial
"The transactions are coded as an open-market sale of common stock."
An open-market sale is when a shareholder sells existing shares directly on a public exchange to any willing buyer, rather than through a private deal. Think of it like putting goods on a busy market stall where price is set by supply and demand; for investors it matters because such sales increase available supply, can put short-term downward pressure on the stock price, and signal changes in liquidity or investor confidence.
weighted average price financial
"The price reported is a weighted average price for multiple trades."
Weighted average price is the average price of a security where each trade or component is counted according to its size, so bigger trades pull the average more than smaller ones. Think of it like calculating the average cost of a grocery haul where items you bought more of have greater influence on the final per-item cost. Investors use it to understand the true average price paid or received, judge execution quality, and compare trading performance against market movement.
separately managed account financial
"Securities owned by a separately managed account, the Managed Account."
A separately managed account (SMA) is a personalized investment portfolio owned by a single investor and run by a professional manager who buys and sells securities on that investor’s behalf. It matters to investors because an SMA offers tailored asset selection, tax handling, and transparency—like hiring a personal chef who prepares meals to your dietary needs rather than sharing a set menu—so you can align holdings with your goals and see exactly what you own.
beneficially own regulatory
"Opaleye Management Inc. may be deemed to beneficially own the securities."
Beneficially own means having the economic rights and risks of a security—such as the right to receive dividends, sell the shares, or profit from price changes—whether or not your name appears on the official share register. Think of it like renting a car: you use it and reap the benefits even if the title lists someone else. Investors care because beneficial ownership determines who truly controls value, must be disclosed under securities rules, and can signal potential influence or trading activity that affects a stock’s price.
pecuniary interest regulatory
"Opaleye Management Inc. disclaims beneficial ownership except to the extent of its pecuniary interest."
