Key Terms

4 terms

Restricted Stock financial

"Grant of Restricted Stock under the Company's 2021 Long Term Incentive Plan."

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.

Long Term Incentive Plan financial

"under the Company's 2021 Long Term Incentive Plan. Based on value of $160,000"

A long term incentive plan is a company program that awards executives and key employees bonuses—often in stock, options, or cash—only if the business meets multi-year performance goals. It links management pay to company results—like tying a coach’s bonus to a team’s multi-season record—so investors monitor it for how leaders are motivated, potential share dilution, and signals about the company’s long-term priorities.

closing price financial

"Based on value of $160,000 divided by the closing price on the grant date, May 21, 2026 ($104.79)."

accelerated removal financial

"subject to accelerated removal under certain circumstances, including death, disability and retirement."
