Class B Common Stock financial
"On May 27, 2026, 13,963 Class B shares were distributed to Alan B. Miller"
A class B common stock is one of multiple types of a company’s ordinary shares that carries specific rights—often different voting power or dividend priority—compared with other classes. For investors it matters because those differences affect how much influence you have over company decisions, the income you might receive, and how freely the shares trade; think of it like owning a car with different keys: some keys let you start the engine and open the trunk, others only unlock the door.
GRAT financial
"distributed to Alan B. Miller from the Marc Daniel Miller 2024 GRAT"
pecuniary interest financial
"Alan B. Miller's pecuniary interest in these shares is unchanged"
beneficial ownership financial
"Mr. Alan B. Miller disclaims beneficial ownership of these securities"
Beneficial ownership means the person or entity that actually enjoys the benefits of owning shares or other assets — such as receiving dividends, voting rights, or price gains — even if the legal title is held in another name. For investors it matters because knowing who truly controls and profits from a company reveals who can influence decisions, exposes potential conflicts of interest or hidden concentration of power, and affects transparency and risk in the stock.
Section 16 regulatory
"beneficial owner of these securities for purposes of Section 16"
Section 16 is a U.S. securities law rule that governs the trading and disclosure obligations of company insiders — typically officers, directors and large shareholders — to promote transparency and deter unfair profit-taking. It requires insiders to publicly report their stock trades and allows companies or the issuer to reclaim quick, short-term profits from certain insider trades, like a scoreboard and a refund policy that help investors see and limit possible insider advantage.
