sell-to-cover financial
"sale satisfies the minimum statutory tax withholding obligations to be funded by a "sell-to-cover""
Sell-to-cover is when part of newly issued or exercised company stock is immediately sold to pay required taxes and fees, so the recipient keeps the remaining shares. For investors this matters because it reduces the number of shares insiders or employees actually hold after a grant, can create small, routine share sales that aren’t signal of cashing out, and slightly increases share supply on the market—like selling a portion of a paycheck to cover the tax bill.
Restricted Stock Units ("RSUs") financial
"Restricted Stock Units ("RSUs") granted to the reporting person for no additional cash consideration"
Restricted stock units (RSUs) are a company promise to give an employee shares of stock (or cash equivalent) in the future, but only after certain conditions—usually staying with the company for a set time or hitting performance goals—are met. Investors watch RSUs because when they vest they increase the number of shares outstanding and can lead insiders to sell shares, affecting share price, company dilution and the true cost of employee pay.
