Restricted Stock Units financial

"Represents the vesting of all RSUs granted on January 1, 2026."

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.

Ordinary Shares financial

"Each RSU converts to an Ordinary Share on a one-for-one basis."

Ordinary shares are a type of ownership stake in a company, giving shareholders a right to participate in the company’s profits and decision-making through voting. They are similar to owning a piece of a business, and their value can rise or fall based on the company's performance. Investors buy ordinary shares to potentially earn dividends and benefit from the company's growth over time.

tax withholding obligations financial

"Represents the satisfaction of tax withholding obligations in connection with the vesting of the Restricted Stock Units"

derivative security financial

"Exercise or conversion of derivative security"

A derivative security is a financial contract whose value comes from the price or performance of something else, such as a stock, bond, commodity, or market index. For investors it acts like an insurance policy or a wager: it can be used to protect against losses, lock in prices, or amplify gains and losses, so it can change a portfolio’s risk and potential return without owning the underlying asset directly.

retirement from the Issuer's board of directors financial

"Represents the vesting of all RSUs granted on December 5, 2023, upon the reporting person's retirement from the Issuer's board of directors."
