Restricted Stock Units ("RSUs") financial
"in connection with the vesting and net settlement of previously reported Restricted Stock Units ("RSUs")."
Restricted stock units (RSUs) are a company promise to give an employee shares of stock (or cash equivalent) in the future, but only after certain conditions—usually staying with the company for a set time or hitting performance goals—are met. Investors watch RSUs because when they vest they increase the number of shares outstanding and can lead insiders to sell shares, affecting share price, company dilution and the true cost of employee pay.
net settlement financial
"in connection with the vesting and net settlement of previously reported Restricted Stock Units ("RSUs")."
Employee Stock Purchase Plan financial
"Includes 44 shares acquired under the AppLovin Corporation 2021 Employee Stock Purchase Plan on May 20, 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.
tax-withholding disposition financial
"transaction_action": "tax-withholding disposition""
A tax-withholding disposition is an event or transaction—such as selling or transferring securities, exercising options, or receiving compensation—that triggers a requirement to hold back part of the payment and remit it to tax authorities. It matters to investors because it reduces the cash they receive immediately and can change the timing and amount of taxable income, like a cashier taking a portion of your sale proceeds to pay taxes before you get the rest.
