restricted stock units 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 are a type of company reward where employees are promised shares of stock, but they only fully own these shares after meeting certain conditions, like staying with the company for a set time. They matter because they can become valuable assets and are often used to motivate employees to help the company succeed.
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")) through each such vesting date"
Change in Control financial
"immediately prior to the effective time of a Change in Control (as defined in the 2022 Plan)"
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.
