controlled entities financial

"Represents securities held by entities directly or indirectly controlled by Mr. Sternlicht"

beneficial ownership financial

"Mr. Sternlicht disclaims beneficial ownership of these securities except to the extent of his pecuniary interest"

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 these securities except to the extent of his pecuniary interest therein"

Section 16 regulatory

"shall not be deemed an admission of beneficial ownership of all of the reported securities for purposes of Section 16"

Section 16 is a U.S. securities law rule that governs the trading and disclosure obligations of company insiders — typically officers, directors and large shareholders — to promote transparency and deter unfair profit-taking. It requires insiders to publicly report their stock trades and allows companies or the issuer to reclaim quick, short-term profits from certain insider trades, like a scoreboard and a refund policy that help investors see and limit possible insider advantage.

external manager financial

"distributed by SPT Management, LLC, the issuer's external manager (the "Manager")"
