3 terms

Rule 144 regulatory

"See the definition of "person" in paragraph (a) of Rule 144"

Rule 144 is a U.S. securities regulation that sets conditions under which restricted or insider-held shares can be legally resold to the public, such as required holding periods, availability of public information, limits on how much can be sold at once, and certain filing requirements. For investors it matters because it determines when previously locked-up shares can enter the market — like a release valve that can increase supply, affect share price, and signal insider intent.

Restricted Stock Units financial

"Restricted Stock Units | Issuer"

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.

10b5-1 Sales financial

"10b5-1 Sales for MICHAEL F MONTOYA"

10b5-1 sales are pre-arranged stock-trading plans that let company insiders automatically buy or sell shares according to a fixed schedule or formula, even if they later learn confidential information. Think of it as setting up an automatic thermostat for trades: it creates a clear, documented path that can protect insiders from insider-trading accusations and gives investors a signal about predictable insider activity—though it can also simply be a way for insiders to diversify or raise cash.
