convertible promissory notefinancial
"Streeterville has rights, under a convertible promissory note, to own an aggregate number"
A convertible promissory note is a loan a company takes now that can later be turned into shares instead of being repaid in cash. Think of it as lending money with the option to accept ownership in the business down the road; that matters to investors because it affects who gets paid first, how much ownership existing shareholders keep, and the company’s future valuation and cash needs. Terms such as conversion price, interest and maturity determine the financial impact.
beneficially ownedfinancial
"the number of shares of the Issuer's common stock beneficially owned by Streetertville"
Beneficially owned describes securities or assets where a person has the economic rights and control—such as the right to receive dividends and to direct voting—even if legal title is held in another name. Think of it like having the keys and using a car that’s registered to someone else: you get the benefits and make decisions. Investors care because beneficial ownership reveals who truly controls value and voting power, affecting corporate decisions and takeover dynamics.
sole voting powerfinancial
"5 | Sole Voting Power 954,323.00 6 | Shared Voting Power 0.00"
Sole voting power is the exclusive right to cast votes attached to a shareholder’s stock without needing approval from anyone else. Like holding the only remote control for a TV, it lets that holder decide corporate matters such as board members, mergers, and policy changes, making it important to investors because it concentrates control and can strongly influence a company’s strategy and the value of its shares.
sole dispositive powerfinancial
"7 | Sole Dispositive Power 954,323.00 8 | Shared Dispositive Power 0.00"
Sole dispositive power is the exclusive legal authority to decide what happens to a security — for example, whether to sell, transfer, or retain shares — without needing anyone else’s permission. Investors care because it signals who truly controls the economic outcome of an investment: like holding the only key to a safe, the holder can realize gains or losses and may trigger regulatory reporting, insider rules, or influence over corporate ownership.
