Key Terms
without cause, severance amount, Emerging growth company, Inline XBRL
4 terms
without cause financial
"The Company determined the separation to be 'without cause' as defined in Ms. Johnson’s employment agreement"
severance amount financial
"will pay Ms. Johnson the severance amount provided under such employment agreement"
Emerging growth company regulatory
"Emerging growth company"
An emerging growth company is a recently public or smaller public firm that qualifies for temporary, lighter regulatory and disclosure rules to reduce the cost and effort of being public. For investors, it means the company may provide less historical financial detail and face fewer reporting requirements than larger firms, so it can grow more quickly but also carries higher uncertainty—like buying a promising early-stage product with fewer user reviews.
Inline XBRL technical
"the cover page XBRL tabs are embedded within Inline XBRL document"
Inline XBRL is a file format for financial filings that embeds machine-readable data tags directly inside the human-readable report, so the same document can be read by people and parsed by software. For investors it makes extracting, comparing and verifying financial numbers faster and more reliable—like a grocery list where each item also has a barcode—reducing manual errors and speeding up analysis.
