Key Terms

4 terms

2024 Equity Incentive Plan financial

"granted under the Issuer's 2024 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended"

vest financial

"which will vest upon the earlier of the first anniversary"

A vest is the process by which an employee earns the right to receive certain benefits or ownership interests, such as stock or retirement funds, over time. It’s similar to earning a reward gradually, ensuring that the benefit becomes fully yours only after a set period or meeting specific conditions. This makes it important for investors because it determines when they can actually claim or use those benefits.

annual stockholder meeting financial

"or the next annual stockholder meeting, subject to the Reporting Person's continued service"

An annual stockholder meeting is a yearly gathering where a company's owners (shareholders) receive updates on performance, vote on key issues like board members, executive pay and major corporate plans, and ask questions of management. Think of it as a company town hall where choices about oversight and direction are decided; outcomes can affect management accountability, corporate strategy and ultimately the value and risks of investors’ shares.

continued service as a director financial

"subject to the Reporting Person's continued service as a director of the Issuer"
