Rule 10b5-1 trading plan regulatory

"were effected pursuant to a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan adopted by the reporting person"

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.

Restricted Stock Units financial

"Total includes Restricted Stock Units."

Restricted stock units are a type of company reward where employees are promised shares of stock, but they only fully own these shares after meeting certain conditions, like staying with the company for a set time. They matter because they can become valuable assets and are often used to motivate employees to help the company succeed.

2019 Omnibus Incentive Plan financial

"Grant of employee stock option under the Issuer's 2019 Omnibus Incentive Plan"

weighted average purchase price financial

"The price reported above reflects the weighted average purchase price."

The weighted average purchase price is the average cost per share you paid across multiple buys, calculated so larger purchases count more than smaller ones. Imagine buying apples at different prices: the overall price you effectively paid depends on how many apples you bought at each price. Investors use it to measure true cost basis, calculate gains or losses, decide when to sell, and manage taxes and portfolio performance.
