4 terms
restricted stock units ("RSUs") financial
"Represents shares of Class A common stock... in connection with the net settlement of vested restricted stock units ("RSUs")"
Restricted stock units (RSUs) are a company promise to give an employee shares of stock (or cash equivalent) in the future, but only after certain conditions—usually staying with the company for a set time or hitting performance goals—are met. Investors watch RSUs because when they vest they increase the number of shares outstanding and can lead insiders to sell shares, affecting share price, company dilution and the true cost of employee pay.
performance-based restricted stock units ("PRSUs") financial
"Represents performance-based restricted stock units ("PRSUs") granted to the filing person."
Section 16(b) regulatory
"This transaction is exempt from Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, pursuant to Rule 16b-3(e)"
A federal rule that requires company insiders—like officers, directors and large shareholders—to return any profits made from buying and selling the company’s stock within a six-month window. It matters to investors because it discourages short-term trades that could exploit non-public information and helps protect outside shareholders by creating a simple, enforceable way to recover unfair gains, much like a rule stopping someone from flipping a limited-edition item for quick profit after getting early access.
Rule 16b-3(e) regulatory
"exempt from Section 16(b)... pursuant to Rule 16b-3(e) promulgated thereunder."
