sell to cover transaction financial
"Shares sold pursuant to a sell to cover transaction to cover the exercise"
weighted average price financial
"The price reported in Column 4 is a weighted average price."
Weighted average price is the average price of a security where each trade or component is counted according to its size, so bigger trades pull the average more than smaller ones. Think of it like calculating the average cost of a grocery haul where items you bought more of have greater influence on the final per-item cost. Investors use it to understand the true average price paid or received, judge execution quality, and compare trading performance against market movement.
2019 Stock Option Plan Rules financial
"granted on September 1, 2020 pursuant to the Amer Sports, Inc. 2019 Stock Option Plan Rules"
stock options financial
"Reflects vested stock options to purchase ordinary shares of the Issuer"
Stock options are agreements that give a person the right to buy or sell a company's stock at a specific price within a certain time frame. They are often used as a reward or incentive, similar to a coupon that can be used later if the stock price rises, allowing the holder to make a profit.
Ordinary Shares financial
"Reflects vested stock options to purchase ordinary shares of the Issuer"
Ordinary shares are a type of ownership stake in a company, giving shareholders a right to participate in the company’s profits and decision-making through voting. They are similar to owning a piece of a business, and their value can rise or fall based on the company's performance. Investors buy ordinary shares to potentially earn dividends and benefit from the company's growth over time.
