Key Terms

Stock Option (Right to Buy), Class A Common Stock, weighted average sale price, vested over five equal installments

4 terms

Stock Option (Right to Buy) financial

"Security titled "Stock Option (Right to Buy)" reported as a derivative transaction"

Class A Common Stock financial

"Underlying security and sale transactions involved "Class A Common Stock" shares"

Class A common stock is a category of a company’s shares that carries a specific set of ownership rights—most commonly defined voting power and claims on dividends—set out in the company’s charter. For investors it matters because the class determines how much influence you have over corporate decisions, the share’s likely dividend and trading behavior, and how it compares in value to other share classes, like choosing a particular seat with different privileges at the company’s decision-making table.
