4 terms

fully-vested restricted stock financial

"Represents the grant of fully-vested restricted stock that the Reporting Person elected to receive in lieu of cash compensation"

Non-Employee Director Compensation Policy financial

"in lieu of cash compensation under the Issuer's Non-Employee Director Compensation Policy"

average closing price financial

"calculated by dividing the applicable value of the equity by the average closing price of our common stock"

The average closing price is the arithmetic mean of a security’s end-of-day prices over a chosen period, found by adding each day’s closing price and dividing by the number of days. It smooths out daily ups and downs to show a typical market value—like averaging daily temperatures to understand a month’s climate—and helps investors spot trends, judge whether a stock is generally rising or falling, and make clearer buy or sell decisions.

Class A Common Stock financial

"security_title": "Class A Common Stock""

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.
