lockup period financial

"50% are subject to a lockup period ending on December, 31, 2026"

A lockup period is a temporary restriction that prevents company insiders and early investors from selling their shares for a set time after a stock offering. Think of it as a cooling-off 'time-out' that keeps a sudden flood of shares off the market; it matters to investors because its expiration can increase share supply and cause price swings, while its presence can help stabilize the stock in the early trading months.
