Restricted Stock Units (RSUs) financial

"41,970 Restricted Stock Units (RSUs) will vest in full on the earlier of (a) May 21, 2027..."

Restricted stock units (RSUs) are a type of company promise to give employees shares of stock in the future, usually after certain conditions like working for a set time. They are like a gift promised today that you receive later, which can become valuable if the company's stock price goes up. RSUs matter because they are a way companies reward employees and can be a significant part of compensation.

Continuous Service financial

"subject to the Eligible Director's Continuous Service on the vesting date."

Annual Meeting financial

"the date immediately prior to the date of the 2027 Annual Meeting, subject to the Eligible Director's Continuous Service..."

A company's annual meeting is a yearly gathering where owners (shareholders) and the board review performance, ask questions, and vote on key matters like electing directors, approving auditor choices, and sometimes setting pay or dividend policies. For investors it matters because decisions made and votes cast can change who runs the company, influence strategy and payouts, and affect the value or direction of their investment—similar to a homeowners’ meeting where rules and leaders that shape your property’s value are decided.
