- Represents the Reporting Person's annual grant of a Restricted Stock Unit (RSU) award under the Issuer's Non-Employee Director Compensation Policy. Each of these RSUs represents a contingent right to receive one share of the Issuer's Class A Common Stock upon settlement.

Restricted Stock Unit (RSU) financial
"Represents the Reporting Person's annual grant of a Restricted Stock Unit (RSU) award under the Issuer's Non-Employee Director Compensation Policy."
A restricted stock unit (RSU) is a promise from a company to give an employee company shares (or cash equal to their value) at a future date if certain conditions are met, such as staying with the company or hitting performance targets. For investors, RSUs matter because when they convert into actual shares they increase the number of shares available and can create selling pressure as employees cash out—think of them as a future paycheck paid in company stock.
Non-Employee Director Compensation Policy financial
"Represents the Reporting Person's annual grant of a Restricted Stock Unit (RSU) award under the Issuer's Non-Employee Director Compensation Policy."
Rule 10b5-1 trading plan regulatory
"The sales reported on this Form 4 were effected pursuant to a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan, adopted September 18, 2025."
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.
weighted average price financial
"The reported price in Column 4 is a weighted average price."
Weighted average price is the average price of a security where each trade or component is counted according to its size, so bigger trades pull the average more than smaller ones. Think of it like calculating the average cost of a grocery haul where items you bought more of have greater influence on the final per-item cost. Investors use it to understand the true average price paid or received, judge execution quality, and compare trading performance against market movement.
Class A Common Stock financial
"Each of these RSUs represents a contingent right to receive one share of the Issuer's Class A Common Stock upon settlement."
Class A common stock is a category of a company’s shares that carries a specific set of ownership rights—most commonly defined voting power and claims on dividends—set out in the company’s charter. For investors it matters because the class determines how much influence you have over corporate decisions, the share’s likely dividend and trading behavior, and how it compares in value to other share classes, like choosing a particular seat with different privileges at the company’s decision-making table.
