Form 144 regulatory

"144: Securities To Be Sold"

Form 144 is a document that investors must file with the government when they plan to sell a large number of shares of a company's stock. It helps ensure transparency so everyone knows how many shares are being sold and when, which can impact the stock's price.

Stock option exercise financial

"Stock option exercise | Arcutis Biotherapeutics Inc"

A stock option exercise is the act of using a previously granted right to buy shares of a company's stock at a specific, predetermined price by paying that price and receiving the shares. It matters to investors because exercising changes who owns the shares (which can dilute existing ownership), can trigger taxable events and shift potential gains or losses, and affects voting power and the company’s outstanding share count—like turning a voucher into an actual product that becomes part of circulating supply.
