restricted stock units ("RSUs") financial
"Represents the number of shares of the Issuer's common stock ("Common Stock") underlying restricted stock units ("RSUs") granted on June 2, 2026."
Restricted stock units (RSUs) are a company promise to give an employee shares of stock (or cash equivalent) in the future, but only after certain conditions—usually staying with the company for a set time or hitting performance goals—are met. Investors watch RSUs because when they vest they increase the number of shares outstanding and can lead insiders to sell shares, affecting share price, company dilution and the true cost of employee pay.
Continuous Service financial
"subject to the Reporting Person's Continuous Service (as defined in the Issuer's Amended and Restated 2022 Equity Incentive Plan (the "2022 Plan"))"
Change in Control financial
"will in any event vest in full on the earlier to occur of (1) immediately prior to the Issuer's 2027 annual stockholder meeting, and (2) immediately prior to the effective time of a Change in Control"
A "change in control" occurs when the ownership or management of a company shifts significantly, such as through a merger, acquisition, or sale of a large part of its assets. This change can impact how the company is run and may influence its future direction. For investors, it matters because it can affect the company's stability, strategy, and value, often signaling potential changes in investment risk or opportunity.
2022 Equity Incentive Plan financial
"as defined in the Issuer's Amended and Restated 2022 Equity Incentive Plan (the "2022 Plan")"
Section 16 financial
"shall not be deemed an admission of beneficial ownership of all of the reported shares for purposes of Section 16 or for any other purpose."
Section 16 is a U.S. securities law rule that governs the trading and disclosure obligations of company insiders — typically officers, directors and large shareholders — to promote transparency and deter unfair profit-taking. It requires insiders to publicly report their stock trades and allows companies or the issuer to reclaim quick, short-term profits from certain insider trades, like a scoreboard and a refund policy that help investors see and limit possible insider advantage.
