restricted stock units ("RSUs") financial
"Includes: (i) the following restricted stock units ("RSUs") that will be settled into shares of Common Stock upon vesting..."
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.
Change In Control financial
"RSUs that will be settled into shares of Common Stock upon vesting upon a "Change In Control" of the Company..."
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.
Amended and Restated CytoSorbents Corporation 2014 Long-Term Incentive Plan financial
"...as defined in the Amended and Restated CytoSorbents Corporation 2014 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the "Plan")"
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.
