restricted stock unit ("RSU") financial
"Each share is represented by a restricted stock unit ("RSU")."
Class A common stock financial
"Each RSU represents a contingent right to receive one share of the Issuer's Class A common stock upon settlement."
Class A common stock is a category of a company’s shares that carries a specific set of ownership rights—most commonly defined voting power and claims on dividends—set out in the company’s charter. For investors it matters because the class determines how much influence you have over corporate decisions, the share’s likely dividend and trading behavior, and how it compares in value to other share classes, like choosing a particular seat with different privileges at the company’s decision-making table.
Vesting Commencement Date financial
"1/12 of the RSUs shall vest on the three-month anniversary of the Vesting Commencement Date,"
The vesting commencement date is the starting point when an employee begins earning ownership rights to their promised benefits, such as stock options or retirement contributions. Think of it like the day a savings account is opened—only after this date do the benefits start to grow and become fully available over time. It matters to investors because it marks when the clock begins ticking toward full ownership, affecting the timing and value of these benefits.
Continuous Service financial
"in each case subject to the Reporting Person's Continuous Service (as defined in the 2021 Plan)"
2021 Plan financial
"Continuous Service (as defined in the 2021 Plan) through the applicable vesting date."
