Restricted Stock Units financial

"Each restricted stock unit (RSUs) represents a contingent right to receive one share of ALK common stock."

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.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan financial

"Includes 178 shares acquired under the Alaska Air Group, Inc. Employee Stock Purchase Plan on April 30, 2026..."

An employee stock purchase plan is a company program that lets workers buy shares through small payroll deductions, often at a discount to the market price and after a set offering period. Think of it like a workplace savings plan that turns into ownership: it encourages employees to share in the company’s success and can create predictable buying or selling of stock that investors watch because it affects supply, demand and employee incentives.

Employee Stock Ownership 401(K) Plan Trust financial

"Common shares held in the Alaska Air Group, Inc. Employee Stock Ownership 401(K) Plan Trust, as of 6/29/2026."

Rule 16b-3(c) regulatory

"in transactions that were exempt under both Rule 16b-3(c) and Rule 16b-3(d)."

An SEC rule that lets corporate insiders avoid automatic "short‑swing" profit recovery when they buy or sell their company’s stock under a pre‑approved, written plan that meets specific conditions. For investors, it matters because it clarifies when insider trades are treated as routine, reducing legal uncertainty and helping distinguish trades made for ordinary compensation or pre‑planned reasons from those that might signal opportunistic or timely insider advantage.

Rule 16b-3(d) regulatory

"in transactions that were exempt under both Rule 16b-3(c) and Rule 16b-3(d)."

Rule 16b-3(d) is a narrow SEC safe-harbor that shields company insiders (officers, directors and large shareholders) from liability for short‑swing profits when their buys or sells of company stock are made under a pre-established, written plan or contract that removes the insider’s ability to time trades. For investors, this matters because it permits predictable, automated insider transactions — like scheduled sales for diversification or payroll withholding — without triggering forced disgorgement, so such planned trades are treated differently from opportunistic insider trading.
