restricted stock financial
"shares of restricted stock granted to the Reporting Person"
Shares granted to an individual that carry limits on transfer or sale until certain conditions are met, such as staying with the company for a set time or hitting performance targets. Think of them as a locked gift that gradually opens; for investors they matter because they affect how many shares may enter the market later, signal management incentives and potential dilution, and reveal confidence in future company performance.

"which shares are immediately vested in full"
three equal annual installments financial
"The option vests in three equal annual installments beginning October 1, 2027."
employee stock option financial
"the Issuer granted this employee stock option to the Reporting Person's spouse"
An employee stock option is a promise that lets a worker buy company shares later at a predetermined price, often after they stay for a certain period or meet performance goals — think of it like a coupon that locks in today's price for a future purchase. It matters to investors because options align employees’ incentives with company performance, can increase the number of shares outstanding (dilution) when exercised, and represent a compensation cost that affects reported profits and shareholder value.
