Rule 10b5-1 plan regulatory
"Date of Rule 10b5-1 plan adoption: 05/27/2026"
A Rule 10b5-1 plan is a prearranged, written schedule that lets corporate insiders buy or sell company stock at set times or amounts, even if they later learn material nonpublic information. Think of it like setting an automatic thermostat for trades: it creates a clear record that trades were planned in advance, reducing the risk of insider-trading accusations and helping investors trust that insider transactions are routine rather than based on secret information.
weighted-average price financial
"The reported price in column 4 is a weighted-average price."
Weighted-average price is the average of multiple prices where each price is counted according to its size or importance—larger trades carry more weight than smaller ones, like averaging course grades by credit hours. It matters to investors because it gives a more realistic picture of the true price paid or received, helping assess trade execution, compare performance, calculate cost basis, and value positions more accurately than a simple average.
restricted stock units financial
"in connection with the vesting of restricted stock units."
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.
tax withholding obligations financial
"sold by the reporting person to cover tax withholding obligations"
indirect ownership financial
"Represents securities held by JEK Trust, of which Mr. Kao is the trustee."
