beneficially own financial
"beneficially own, an aggregate of 48,010,636 Common Shares, which represents approximately 14.33%"
Beneficially own means having the economic rights and risks of a security—such as the right to receive dividends, sell the shares, or profit from price changes—whether or not your name appears on the official share register. Think of it like renting a car: you use it and reap the benefits even if the title lists someone else. Investors care because beneficial ownership determines who truly controls value, must be disclosed under securities rules, and can signal potential influence or trading activity that affects a stock’s price.
Common Shares Outstanding financial
"based on 334,890,295 Common Shares outstanding (the "Common Shares Outstanding")"
Rule 13d-3 regulatory
"for the purposes of Rule 13d-3 of the Exchange Act, beneficially own, an aggregate of 48,010,636"
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.
Schedule 13D regulatory
"previously filed a statement on Schedule 13G to report the acquisition that is the subject of this"
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.
Sole Voting Power financial
"Number of Shares Beneficially Owned by Each Reporting Person With: | 7 | Sole Voting Power 193,104.00"
Sole voting power is the exclusive right to cast votes attached to a shareholder’s stock without needing approval from anyone else. Like holding the only remote control for a TV, it lets that holder decide corporate matters such as board members, mergers, and policy changes, making it important to investors because it concentrates control and can strongly influence a company’s strategy and the value of its shares.
