5 terms

Section 13(d) group regulatory

"may be deemed to be a member of a Section 13(d) group that collectively owns more than 10%"

beneficial ownership regulatory

"Each of the Reporting Persons disclaims beneficial ownership of the securities reported herein"

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.

pecuniary interest financial

"disclaims beneficial ownership of the securities reported herein, except to the extent of its pecuniary interest therein"

indirect subsidiary financial

"Steel Connect is an indirect subsidiary of Steel Excel"

wholly owned subsidiary financial

"Steel Connect Sub is a wholly owned subsidiary of Steel Connect"

A wholly owned subsidiary is a company whose entire ownership is held by another company (the parent), so the parent controls decisions, operations, and finances. Think of it as a fully controlled branch that runs as its own legal entity but whose results flow straight into the parent’s financial statements; investors watch these structures because they affect consolidated revenue, risk exposure, and how profits, liabilities, and cash flow are allocated across the corporate group.
