weighted average price financial

"The price reported in Column 4 is a weighted average price."

Weighted average price is the average price of a security where each trade or component is counted according to its size, so bigger trades pull the average more than smaller ones. Think of it like calculating the average cost of a grocery haul where items you bought more of have greater influence on the final per-item cost. Investors use it to understand the true average price paid or received, judge execution quality, and compare trading performance against market movement.

open market financial

"Sale in open market or private transaction"

An open market is a system where buying and selling of goods, services, or financial assets happen freely without restrictions or special controls. For investors, it means they can trade assets easily and quickly, which helps determine fair prices based on supply and demand. This environment encourages transparency and competition, making it easier to buy or sell with confidence.

Rule 10b5-1 regulatory

"No Rule 10b5-1 trading plan is reported for these transactions"

Rule 10b5-1 is a regulation that allows company insiders to buy or sell their shares at predetermined times, even if they have access to non-public information. It acts like setting a schedule in advance for transactions, helping prevent accusations of unfair trading. This rule provides a way for insiders to plan trades transparently, giving investors confidence that these transactions are not based on hidden information.
