weighted average price financial
"The price reported in Column 4 is a weighted average price."
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.
beneficial owner financial
"may be deemed the beneficial owner of the shares held by the PSP Funds"
A beneficial owner is the person who ultimately owns or controls a financial asset or property, even if their name isn't directly on official documents. Think of it like someone who secretly holds the keys to a safe deposit box—others may appear to have access, but the true owner is the one who benefits from what's inside. Identifying beneficial owners helps ensure transparency and prevent illegal activities like money laundering or fraud.
pecuniary interest financial
"disclaims beneficial ownership of the securities except to the extent of its pecuniary interest"
indirect financial
"The reported securities consist of shares ... held directly by ... and Suja Life Aggregator"
10b5-1 regulatory
"aff_10b5_one is false, indicating the Rule 10b5-1 checkbox is unchecked"
A 10b5-1 plan is a pre-set schedule that lets company insiders buy or sell shares according to written instructions made when they do not possess material, nonpublic information. Think of it as a timed automatic payment for stock trades: it helps insiders avoid accusations of trading on secret information and gives outside investors a clearer signal about whether sales are routine or potentially informative about the company’s prospects.
