restricted share units financial
"These are restricted share units granted by the Issuer, payable upon vesting in an equal number of Common Shares"
Restricted share units (RSUs) are a promise from a company to give an employee or service provider actual shares or cash equal to the shares after certain conditions are met, typically staying with the company for a set time or hitting performance targets. Think of them like a time-locked gift card that becomes usable only after you’ve earned it. For investors, RSUs matter because they align employee incentives with company performance and can increase the number of shares outstanding over time, diluting existing ownership and affecting earnings per share.
beneficially own financial
"may be deemed to beneficially own the shares held for the account of Master Account"
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 financial
"disclaims beneficial ownership of such shares except to the extent of their pecuniary interest therein"
investment management agreement financial
"has an investment management agreement with Master Account pursuant to which it has the power to vote or direct the vote"
An investment management agreement is a written contract that hires a professional to make buying, selling and strategy decisions for an investment account or fund, and sets out their duties, fees, risk limits, performance measures and reporting requirements. It matters to investors because the agreement determines who controls the money, how much the service costs, what risks are allowed, and how success or failure is measured—think of it as the service contract that defines expectations and remedies for a hired portfolio manager.
Voting and Standstill Agreement financial
"as a result of that certain Voting and Standstill Agreement, by and among the Issuer, Liberty Global Ventures Limited"
