Rule 10b5-1 trading plan regulatory
"transaction was effected pursuant to a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan"
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.
restricted stock units ("RSUs") financial
"represents 2,763 shares of common stock and 9,206 unvested restricted stock units ("RSUs")"
Restricted stock units (RSUs) are a company promise to give an employee shares of stock (or cash equivalent) in the future, but only after certain conditions—usually staying with the company for a set time or hitting performance goals—are met. Investors watch RSUs because when they vest they increase the number of shares outstanding and can lead insiders to sell shares, affecting share price, company dilution and the true cost of employee pay.

"and 2,398 performance based restricted stock units ("PSUs")"

"The satisfaction of the 2024, 2025 and 2026 TSR PSUs and the corresponding number"
earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization ("EBITDA") financial
"three-year earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization ("EBITDA") PSUs"
Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) is a measure of a company's operating profitability that strips out financing costs, tax effects, and certain accounting write‑downs to focus on core business performance. For investors it offers a quick way to compare how efficiently different companies generate earnings from their operations—like comparing the cash-making engine of two shops while ignoring their different loan payments, tax situations, or bookkeeping choices—though it doesn’t replace detailed cash‑flow or profit analysis.
