Performance-based Restricted Stock Unit (PSU) financial
"Each performance-based restricted stock unit ("PSU") represents the contingent right"
Class A-1 common stock financial
"receive one share of the Issuer's Class A-1 common stock upon settlement"
Class A-1 common stock is a specific type of ordinary share in a company whose exact voting power, dividend rights and transfer rules are set out in the company’s charter. It represents an ownership stake but may carry different rights than other share classes, so two shares with different labels are not always equal. For investors it matters because the share class determines how much influence you have, what income you may receive and how easily you can sell—think of it like different membership tiers that grant varying levels of access and benefits.
contingent right financial
"represents the contingent right to receive one share of the Issuer's Class A-1"
performance period financial
"during the three-year performance period running January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2028"
The performance period is the specific time span over which an investment’s results, an employee’s targets, or a fund’s returns are measured and judged. It matters to investors because the length and start/end of that window determine which gains or losses count toward performance fees, bonus payouts, or benchmark comparisons—much like timing a race decides who wins, the chosen period can change whether results look strong or weak.
target number financial
"may range from 0% to 300% of the target number reported here"
