Restricted stock units financial

"Restricted stock units ("RSU") granted under the 2018 Equity Incentive Plan"

Restricted stock units are a type of company reward where employees are promised shares of stock, but they only fully own these shares after meeting certain conditions, like staying with the company for a set time. They matter because they can become valuable assets and are often used to motivate employees to help the company succeed.

2018 Equity Incentive Plan financial

"RSU granted under the 2018 Equity Incentive Plan (the "Plan")"

Change in Control financial

"subject to accelerated vesting upon a Change in Control (as defined in the Plan)"

A "change in control" occurs when the ownership or management of a company shifts significantly, such as through a merger, acquisition, or sale of a large part of its assets. This change can impact how the company is run and may influence its future direction. For investors, it matters because it can affect the company's stability, strategy, and value, often signaling potential changes in investment risk or opportunity.
