Earnout Period financial
"The "Earnout Period" is the time period beginning on the date immediately"
VWAP financial
"on which the VWAP of the shares exceeds $11.50 for a period of at least 20"
VWAP, or Volume-Weighted Average Price, is a way to find the average price of a stock throughout the trading day, giving more importance to times when more shares are traded. It helps traders see the typical price and decide whether a stock is expensive or cheap compared to its average, similar to finding the average speed during a trip by giving more weight to times when you traveled faster or slower.
Earnout Shares financial
"shares vesting on such schedule, the "Earnout Shares"."
Earnout shares are company stock promised to sellers as part of an acquisition that only becomes payable if the acquired business hits agreed future performance targets, like revenue or profit goals. They matter to investors because they can increase the number of shares outstanding (dilution), tie seller incentives to future success, and create uncertainty about the actual cost of the deal and future ownership unless the performance conditions are clearly understood.
