beneficially owns financial
"As of the filing date of this Amendment No. 3, the Reporting Person beneficially owns 1,195,094 shares"
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.
Series C Preferred Stock financial
"the Reporting Person holds 50 shares of Series C Preferred Stock which provides the Reporting Person with an additional 25.5% of the total voting power"
A Series C preferred stock is a specific class of ownership issued during a later funding round that gives holders priority over common shareholders for getting paid and receiving dividends, like having a reserved lane in traffic when money is distributed. It often includes agreed rights such as a fixed payout, protection against dilution, and the option to convert into common shares, so investors treat it as a mix of safety and upside potential.
Schedule 13D regulatory
"This Amendment No. 3 to the Statement on ("Amendment No. 3") filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission"
A Schedule 13D is a legal document that investors file with regulators when they buy a large enough stake in a company to potentially influence its management or decisions. It provides details about the investor’s intention, ownership stake, and plans, helping other investors understand who is gaining control and what their motives might be.
2021 Equity Incentive Plan financial
"options to purchase 55,000 shares of common stock granted to the Reporting Person on May 8, 2025 under the Issuer's 2021 Equity Incentive Plan"
voting power financial
"representing 14.7% of the voting power based on 7,777,441 shares of common stock outstanding"
Voting power is the ability shareholders have to influence a company's major decisions—like electing the board, approving mergers, or changing corporate rules—based on the voting rights attached to the shares they hold. For investors it matters because greater voting power is like holding more keys to a building: it gives you a stronger say over management choices and the company’s strategy, which can affect future value and risk.
