("Parent") and Gaia Merger Sub, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent, the Issuer became a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (the "Merger"). At the effective time of the Merger (the "Effective Time"), pursuant to the Merger Agreement, each share of Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Issuer ("Company Common Stock") held by the reporting person as of immediately prior to the Effective Time was automatically cancelled and converted into the right to receive cash in an amount equal to $9.50, without interest thereon (the "Per Share Price").

"each award of restricted stock units of the Issuer (a "Company RSU")"
Effective Time technical
"At the effective time of the Merger (the "Effective Time")"
The exact clock time when a regulatory filing, approval, or corporate action formally becomes legally active; from that moment the change is binding and can be acted on. Investors care because the effective time marks when ownership, rights, trading rules, or new securities take effect — like a light switch turning on a contract or transaction — which determines when risks, benefits and market reactions begin.
Per Share Price financial
"the "Per Share Price""
Merger Agreement technical
"that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement")"
A merger agreement is a binding contract that lays out the exact terms for two companies to combine, including the price, what each side will deliver, and the conditions that must be met before the deal is completed. Investors care because it sets the timetable, payouts and risks — like a blueprint or prenup that shows whether the deal is likely to close, how ownership will change, and what could cancel or alter the payout they expect.
