beneficially owns financial

"The Reporting Person beneficially owns an aggregate of 26,107,565 shares"

Beneficially owns means a person or entity enjoys the economic benefits and control of a security even if the legal title or registration is held in another name. Think of it like having the keys and profits from a car that is registered to a friend: you use it, benefit from it, and make decisions about it even though the official paperwork lists someone else. For investors, this matters because it reveals who truly controls shares, affects voting power, potential conflicts of interest, and regulatory disclosure obligations.

shared Voting Power financial

"Shared Voting Power 26,107,565.00"

Shared voting power occurs when two or more parties jointly have the right to vote or decide how a block of company shares is cast, like co-owners who must agree before moving a piece of furniture. Investors care because who controls voting rights affects board elections, major corporate decisions and takeover outcomes, and shared control can alter regulatory disclosures and the practical influence any holder has over a company’s direction and value.

shared Dispositive Power financial

"Shared Dispositive Power 26,107,565.00"

open market transactions financial

"purchased an aggregate of 827,248 shares of Class A Common Stock in open market transactions"

Open market transactions are the buying and selling of a company’s shares or other securities conducted on public exchanges or through the wider market rather than through private deals or negotiated placements. They matter to investors because these trades change supply and demand in real time—like shoppers affecting a store’s inventory—and so can move prices, signal management or investor sentiment, affect liquidity, and alter ownership stakes that influence future returns and risk.

Schedule 13D regulatory

"filing this Statement shall not be deemed an admission that the Reporting Person"

A Schedule 13D is a legal document that investors file with regulators when they buy a large enough stake in a company to potentially influence its management or decisions. It provides details about the investor’s intention, ownership stake, and plans, helping other investors understand who is gaining control and what their motives might be.
