beneficially owns financial
"The Reporting Person beneficially owns approximately 12.6% of the Issuer's total common stock"
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.
OpCo Units financial
"61,350,823 shares of Class A Common Stock that may be acquired upon the exchange of 61,350,823 common units ("OpCo Units")"
Class V-1 common stock financial
"Incident to its ownership of OpCo Units, the Reporting Person also owns 61,350,823 shares of the Issuer's Class V-1 common stock"
fully diluted basis financial
"On a fully diluted basis (including all of the outstanding shares of the Issuer's Class A Common Stock..."
A fully diluted basis counts every share that could exist if all outstanding options, warrants, convertible securities and other rights were exercised or converted into common stock, showing the maximum number of shares outstanding. For investors this matters because it spreads ownership and earnings across that larger share count, like slicing a pie into every possible piece before deciding how big each investor’s slice will be, which affects per-share value and ownership percentage.
aggregate voting power financial
"the Reporting Person beneficially owns approximately 12.6% of the Issuer's total common stock outstanding, and approximately 5.4% of the aggregate voting power"
