Restricted Stock Units financial
"Restricted Stock Units ("RSUs") granted to the reporting person for no additional cash"
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.
sell-to-cover financial
"to be funded by a "sell-to-cover" transaction and does not represent a discretionary"
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.
statutory tax withholding obligations financial
"shares sold to cover the statutory tax withholding obligations in connection with the vesting"
contingent right financial
"each of which represent a contingent right to receive one share of Edgewise"
Reporting Person financial
"subject to the Reporting Person continuing as a service provider through each vest date"
