Key Terms

nasdaq listing rule 5635(c)(4) regulatory
NASDAQ Listing Rule 5635(c)(4) is a rule that requires a company to get approval from its shareholders before selling a large amount of its shares, usually over 20%. This helps protect investors by making sure the company doesn't flood the market with new shares without their say, which could lower the stock's value.
inducement plan financial
An inducement plan is a program a company creates to encourage employees or new hires to stay or join by offering special benefits or rewards. It’s like a company giving extra bonuses or perks to persuade someone to choose their job over others, helping the company attract and keep talented workers.
option awards financial
Option awards are grants that give employees or directors the right to buy company shares at a preset price for a set period, like a voucher that lets you purchase stock later at today’s price. They matter to investors because exercising those options can increase the number of shares outstanding (dilution) and because they align staff incentives with stock performance, which can affect future profitability and share price.
exercise price financial
The exercise price is the fixed amount at which you can buy or sell an asset, like a stock, when using an options contract. It matters because it helps determine whether exercising the option will be profitable or not, depending on the current market price. Think of it as the set price you agree on today to buy or sell later.
vesting financial
Vesting is the process by which you earn full ownership of something, like company stock or a retirement benefit, over time. It’s like earning the right to keep a gift piece by piece the longer you stay with a company, making sure employees stay committed before they receive all the benefits.
