beneficially owns financial

"Min River beneficially owns 1,640,456,882 Class B Ordinary Shares, each of which is freely convertible"

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.

Class B Ordinary Shares financial

"Min River beneficially owns 1,640,456,882 Class B Ordinary Shares, each of which is freely convertible"

Class B ordinary shares are a type of ownership stake in a company that typically come with different voting rights or privileges compared to other share classes. For investors, they represent a way to hold part of the company’s value and influence its decisions, often with fewer voting rights than Class A shares. Understanding these shares helps investors assess their level of control and potential returns within a company.

pecuniary interests financial

"Min River disclaims the pecuniary interests in the foregoing 18,581,530 Class A Ordinary Shares"

investor agreement financial

"pursuant to certain investor agreement dated December 15, 2017, entered into by and among Tencent Holdings"

voting undertaking financial

"and the voting undertaking dated December 8, 2017, delivered by Tencent Holdings"

sole voting power financial

"5 | Sole Voting Power 1,659,038,412.00 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.
