restricted stock units (RSUs) financial
"Represents restricted stock units (RSUs) automatically granted the day after the issuer's 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders."
Restricted stock units (RSUs) are a type of company promise to give employees shares of stock in the future, usually after certain conditions like working for a set time. They are like a gift promised today that you receive later, which can become valuable if the company's stock price goes up. RSUs matter because they are a way companies reward employees and can be a significant part of compensation.
beneficial ownership financial
"The Reporting Person disclaims beneficial ownership within the meaning of Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934."
Beneficial ownership means the person or entity that actually enjoys the benefits of owning shares or other assets — such as receiving dividends, voting rights, or price gains — even if the legal title is held in another name. For investors it matters because knowing who truly controls and profits from a company reveals who can influence decisions, exposes potential conflicts of interest or hidden concentration of power, and affects transparency and risk in the stock.
pecuniary interest financial
"disclaims beneficial ownership ... of such portion of the securities held by NEA 13 in which the Reporting Person has no pecuniary interest."
Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 regulatory
"The Reporting Person disclaims beneficial ownership within the meaning of Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended."
A provision of federal securities law that requires company insiders—directors, officers and large shareholders—to publicly report their stock holdings and trades and to surrender any “short-swing” profits from purchases and sales within a six-month window. It acts like a rule that forces leaders to announce their trades and prevents quick buy-sell windfalls, giving investors transparency into insider activity and reducing opportunities for unfair gain.
Annual Meeting of Stockholders financial
"RSUs automatically granted the day after the issuer's 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders."
