Stock Option (Right to Buy) financial

"security_title: Stock Option (Right to Buy)"

Continuous Service financial

"subject to the option holder's Continuous Service through each such vesting date"

Change of Control financial

"will vest in full upon a Change of Control as defined in the plan"

A change of control occurs when the ownership or management of a company shifts significantly, such as through a sale, merger, or acquisition, resulting in new leadership or ownership structure. This change can impact the company's direction and decision-making, which is important for investors because it may affect the company's stability, strategy, and future prospects.

equity incentive plan financial

"as defined in the Company's 2018 equity incentive plan"

An equity incentive plan is a program that gives employees, executives or directors the right to receive company stock or options to buy stock as part of their pay. Think of it as offering slices of future company profit to motivate people to boost long‑term performance; for investors it matters because it can align employee goals with shareholder value but also increases the number of shares outstanding, which can dilute existing ownership.
