Key Terms

beneficially owned, shared voting power, convertible securities, Schedule 13G

4 terms

beneficially owned regulatory

"As of March 31, 2026, Nantahala may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of 4,089,205 Shares"

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.

shared voting power regulatory

"Shared Voting Power 4,089,205.00"

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.

convertible securities financial

"Include 2,042,500 Shares which may be acquired ... through the exercise of convertible securities"

Convertible securities are bonds or preferred shares that can be exchanged for a company’s common stock at a predetermined price or under specified conditions. They matter because they combine the steadiness of a loan or fixed dividend with the potential upside of ownership; like a safety‑net that carries a one‑time ticket to become a shareholder, they affect expected returns and can dilute existing stock if converted.

Schedule 13G regulatory

"Item 1. (a) Name of issuer: VENU HOLDING CORPORATION"

A Schedule 13G is a formal document that investors file with the government when they acquire a large ownership stake in a company, usually for investment purposes rather than control. It helps keep the public informed about who owns significant parts of a company's shares, which can influence how the company is managed and how investors make decisions. Filing this schedule is important for transparency and understanding the ownership landscape of publicly traded companies.
