5 terms

Agreement and Plan of Reorganization financial

"issued to AE Industrial HorizonX Venture Fund II, LP, pursuant to that certain Agreement and Plan of Reorganization"

An agreement and plan of reorganization is a formal roadmap negotiated between a financially distressed company and its creditors that explains how debts, assets and ownership will be restructured so the business can continue operating. For investors it’s the document that determines who gets paid, what claims are reduced or converted into new shares, and how much existing equity may be wiped out or diluted — like a household rearranging bills and mortgages to stay solvent while deciding who gets repaid and how.

beneficial ownership financial

"disclaims beneficial ownership of the securities held by AE Industrial Partners, except to the extent of its pecuniary interest"

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.

pecuniary interest financial

"disclaims beneficial ownership of the securities held by AE Industrial Partners, except to the extent of its pecuniary interest therein"

ten percent owner financial

"reporting persons are listed as ten percent owners of York Space Systems Inc."

indirect ownership financial
