weighted average price financial
"The price reported represents the weighted average price"
Weighted average price is the average price of a security where each trade or component is counted according to its size, so bigger trades pull the average more than smaller ones. Think of it like calculating the average cost of a grocery haul where items you bought more of have greater influence on the final per-item cost. Investors use it to understand the true average price paid or received, judge execution quality, and compare trading performance against market movement.
pro rata financial
"34,616 shares which vest quarterly, pro rata"
Pro rata means dividing or distributing something proportionally based on a specific factor, such as ownership or contribution. For example, if an investor owns 10% of a company, they would receive 10% of any dividends or benefits allocated. This approach ensures everyone gets their fair share relative to their stake or input, helping investors understand how benefits, costs, or responsibilities are fairly shared.
annualized return on equity financial
"achievement of a specified annualized return on equity"
Annualized return on equity measures how much profit a company generates each year for every dollar investors have left in the business after liabilities are subtracted. Think of shareholder equity as seeds you plant and annualized ROE as the yearly harvest rate—higher values mean the company is generally better at turning investor money into profit, and annualizing lets investors compare performance on a common yearly basis.
2019 Omnibus Incentive Plan financial
"pursuant to the Issuer's 2019 Omnibus Incentive Plan"
