ADS financial
"One ADS represents four Class A Ordinary Shares."
Ads are paid promotional messages a company places across media — online, on TV, in print, or on social platforms — to attract customers, explain products, or shape public perception. For investors, ads matter because they drive sales growth, affect how much a company must spend to win customers, and influence brand strength and long-term value. Ads can also create regulatory or reputational risk if claims are misleading, which can affect profits and stock price.
RSU (Restricted Stock Unit) financial
"RSU (Restricted Stock Unit) with 2,250,000 underlying ADSs and price-based vesting."
Incentive Stock Option (Right to Buy) financial
"Incentive Stock Option (Right to Buy) over 2,250,000 ADSs at $4.50."
vesting financial
"Shares subject to the Option shall vest on September 4, 2028, then monthly for thirty-six months."
Vesting is the process by which you earn full ownership of something, like company stock or a retirement benefit, over time. It’s like earning the right to keep a gift piece by piece the longer you stay with a company, making sure employees stay committed before they receive all the benefits.
