Agreement and Plan of Merger regulatory
"Pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement"), with Sumisho Air Lease Corporation Designated Activity Company..."
An Agreement and Plan of Merger is a formal document where two companies agree to combine into one, outlining how the process will happen. It’s like a step-by-step plan for merging, and it matters because it shows both sides have agreed on the details before the official transition takes place.
Effective Time regulatory
"At the effective time of the Merger (the "Effective Time"), each issued and outstanding share..."
restricted stock units financial
"include 4,472 unvested restricted stock units ("RSUs"), which were cancelled and converted into the right to receive an amount in cash..."
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.
Per Share Price financial
"converted into the right to receive $65.00 per share in cash... (the "Per Share Price")."
