Rule 10b5-1 trading plan regulatory

"transactions were made pursuant to an approved sell-to-cover plan by the Compensation Committee"

A Rule 10b5-1 trading plan is a pre-arranged schedule that allows company insiders to buy or sell stock at specific times, even if they have inside information. It helps prevent accusations of unfair trading by making these transactions look planned and transparent, rather than sneaky or illegal.

sell-to-cover plan financial

"Pursuant to the approved sell-to-cover plan by the Compensation Committee"

Restricted Stock Units (RSUs) financial

"vesting of a previously granted award of Restricted Stock Units (RSUs)"

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 reporting person's Continuous Service (as defined in the Issuer's 2021 Equity Incentive Plan)"
