restricted stock financial
"issued to the reporting person pursuant to an award of restricted stock under the Issuer's 2017 Equity Incentive Plan"
Shares granted to an individual that carry limits on transfer or sale until certain conditions are met, such as staying with the company for a set time or hitting performance targets. Think of them as a locked gift that gradually opens; for investors they matter because they affect how many shares may enter the market later, signal management incentives and potential dilution, and reveal confidence in future company performance.
2017 Equity Incentive Plan financial
"award of restricted stock under the Issuer's 2017 Equity Incentive Plan"
performance stock financial
"Each share of performance stock represents a contingent right to receive one Class A Share"
total shareholder return financial
"achieve a specified growth rate of TSR over the performance period"
Total shareholder return is the overall gain an investor gets from owning a stock, combining changes in the share price plus any cash payouts like dividends, and assuming those payouts are reinvested in more shares. Investors use it like a single score that shows the true return on their investment—similar to checking both the growth of a savings account and the interest earned—to compare how well different companies or investments perform over time.
beneficially owned financial
"Amount of securities beneficially owned reduced by seven (7)"
Beneficially owned describes securities or assets where a person has the economic rights and control—such as the right to receive dividends and to direct voting—even if legal title is held in another name. Think of it like having the keys and using a car that’s registered to someone else: you get the benefits and make decisions. Investors care because beneficial ownership reveals who truly controls value and voting power, affecting corporate decisions and takeover dynamics.
