restricted share units financial

"Reflects a grant of restricted share units that vest in one annual installment"

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.

Series C Preferred Shares financial

"security_title": "Series C Preferred Shares""

Series C preferred shares are a specific class of stock issued in a later-stage funding round that gives holders priority over common shareholders for dividend payments and for getting money back if the company is sold or liquidated. Think of them like a reserved lane on a highway: they typically carry negotiated protections — such as priority payouts, defined payout terms, and the option to convert into common shares — which change the risk and potential return compared with ordinary stock.
