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.
employee stock purchase plan financial
"Includes shares of Common Stock acquired under the Issuer's employee stock purchase plan."
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.
Amended and Restated 2020 Omnibus Incentive Plan financial
"Granted under the Company's Amended and Restated 2020 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the "Plan")."
time-based options financial
"On March 31, 2021, the Reporting Person was granted 51,158 time-based options."
