Restricted Share Units financial
"Represents Class A ordinary shares acquired upon the vesting of restricted share units (RSUs) on April 8, 2026."
Restricted share units (RSUs) are a promise from a company to give an employee or service provider actual shares or cash equal to the shares after certain conditions are met, typically staying with the company for a set time or hitting performance targets. Think of them like a time-locked gift card that becomes usable only after you’ve earned it. For investors, RSUs matter because they align employee incentives with company performance and can increase the number of shares outstanding over time, diluting existing ownership and affecting earnings per share.
sell-to-cover financial
"The shares were sold in a "sell-to-cover" transaction to cover tax withholding obligations in connection with the vesting and settlement of the RSUs."
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.
American depositary shares financial
"The Class A ordinary shares are held in the form of American depositary shares."
American depositary shares (ADSs) are a way for investors in the United States to buy shares of foreign companies without dealing with international markets directly. They represent ownership in a foreign company's stock and are traded on U.S. stock exchanges, making it easier for American investors to buy, sell, and own parts of companies from around the world.
tax withholding obligations financial
"The shares were sold in a "sell-to-cover" transaction to cover tax withholding obligations in connection with the vesting and settlement of the RSUs."
contingent right financial
"Each RSU represents a contingent right to receive, when vested, one Class A ordinary share."
