3 terms

Non-Qualified Stock Option (Right to Buy) financial

"exercised 3,500 non-qualified stock options"

exercise price financial

"at an exercise price of $7.80 per share"

The exercise price is the fixed amount at which you can buy or sell an asset, like a stock, when using an options contract. It matters because it helps determine whether exercising the option will be profitable or not, depending on the current market price. Think of it as the set price you agree on today to buy or sell later.

Rule 10b5-1 trading plan regulatory

"transactions were made under a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan"

A Rule 10b5-1 trading plan is a pre-arranged schedule that allows company insiders to buy or sell stock at specific times, even if they have inside information. It helps prevent accusations of unfair trading by making these transactions look planned and transparent, rather than sneaky or illegal.
