tax obligations financial

"Reflects the withholding of shares to satisfy tax obligations on 1,179 shares of restricted stock"

restricted stock financial

"restricted stock that vested on March 31, 2026"

Shares granted to an individual that carry limits on transfer or sale until certain conditions are met, such as staying with the company for a set time or hitting performance targets. Think of them as a locked gift that gradually opens; for investors they matter because they affect how many shares may enter the market later, signal management incentives and potential dilution, and reveal confidence in future company performance.
