Senior notes are a type of loan that a company borrows from investors, promising to pay it back with interest. They are called "senior" because in case the company faces financial trouble, these lenders are paid back before others. This makes senior notes safer for investors compared to other types of loans or bonds.
prospectus supplementregulatory
A prospectus supplement is an additional document provided alongside a company's main offering details, offering updated or extra information about a specific financial product being sold. It helps investors understand the latest terms, risks, and details of the investment, similar to how an update or revision clarifies or expands on original instructions, ensuring they have current and complete information before making a decision.
base prospectusregulatory
A base prospectus is a detailed document that provides essential information about a financial offering, such as a bond or share issue. It acts like a comprehensive guide for investors, explaining what the investment involves, the risks involved, and how the process works. This helps investors make informed decisions before committing their money.
424(b)(2)regulatory
424(b)(2) is a specific SEC filing that delivers the final prospectus details for a securities offering, including the exact price, number of shares or bonds, and key terms. For investors it matters because it is the authoritative “price tag and contract” for the new securities—showing how the offering will affect ownership, potential dilution, and what the company will do with the proceeds.
rule 10b5-1 trading planregulatory
A Rule 10b5-1 trading plan is a pre-arranged schedule that allows company insiders to buy or sell stock at specific times, even if they have inside information. It helps prevent accusations of unfair trading by making these transactions look planned and transparent, rather than sneaky or illegal.
restricted stock unitsfinancial
Restricted stock units are a type of company reward where employees are promised shares of stock, but they only fully own these shares after meeting certain conditions, like staying with the company for a set time. They matter because they can become valuable assets and are often used to motivate employees to help the company succeed.
rule 144regulatory
Rule 144 is a U.S. securities regulation that sets conditions under which restricted or insider-held shares can be legally resold to the public, such as required holding periods, availability of public information, limits on how much can be sold at once, and certain filing requirements. For investors it matters because it determines when previously locked-up shares can enter the market — like a release valve that can increase supply, affect share price, and signal insider intent.
