Rolling 10% Incentive Share Option Plan financial
"under the Issuer's Rolling 10% Incentive Share Option Plan"
Restricted Share Units financial
"Represents Restricted Share Units ("RSUs") granted"
Restricted share units (RSUs) are a promise from a company to give an employee or service provider actual shares or cash equal to the shares after certain conditions are met, typically staying with the company for a set time or hitting performance targets. Think of them like a time-locked gift card that becomes usable only after you’ve earned it. For investors, RSUs matter because they align employee incentives with company performance and can increase the number of shares outstanding over time, diluting existing ownership and affecting earnings per share.
Amended and Restated Restricted Share Unit Plan financial
"under the Issuer's Amended and Restated Restricted Share Unit Plan"
contingent right financial
"Each RSU represents a contingent right to receive one Common Share"
Omnibus Plan financial
"2025 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan (the "Omnibus Plan")"
An omnibus plan is a single, broad employee compensation program that groups together different types of pay awards — such as stock options, restricted shares, cash bonuses and other incentives — under one set of rules and administration. Think of it as a single toolbox that lets a company give and track many kinds of employee pay from one place; investors care because it affects potential share dilution, how executive incentives are structured, and the size and timing of compensation expense.
