"does not beneficially own such securities within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934"
Rule 13d-3 defines who is treated as the beneficial owner of a company’s shares for U.S. securities disclosure rules — essentially anyone who has the power to vote or direct how shares are voted, or the power to buy or sell them, even if they don’t hold the certificates. For investors this matters because crossing certain ownership thresholds triggers public filing and disclosure obligations and signals potential control or influence, much like having the keys to a car implies you can drive it even if it’s registered to someone else.
