Key Terms

Schedule 13G, Beneficial ownership, Sole dispositive power, Power of Attorney

4 terms

Schedule 13G regulatory

"Item 1. (a) Name of issuer: John Wiley & Sons Inc"

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.

Beneficial ownership financial

"Item 4. (a) Amount beneficially owned: 2,382,703"

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.

Sole dispositive power financial

"Item 4. (iii) Sole power to dispose: 468,884"

Sole dispositive power is the exclusive legal authority to decide what happens to a security — for example, whether to sell, transfer, or retain shares — without needing anyone else’s permission. Investors care because it signals who truly controls the economic outcome of an investment: like holding the only key to a safe, the holder can realize gains or losses and may trigger regulatory reporting, insider rules, or influence over corporate ownership.

Power of Attorney legal

"Comments accompanying signature: Authorized by Power of Attorney"

A power of attorney is a legal document that allows one person to make decisions and act on behalf of another person, often in financial or legal matters. It’s like giving someone a trusted helper or agent the authority to handle important tasks if you are unable to do so yourself. This matters to investors because it can impact how their assets are managed or transferred if they become unable to oversee their affairs.
