"the volume weighted average closing price per share during the immediately completed quarter"
The volume weighted average closing price is the average of a security’s closing prices over a given period where each day’s closing price is weighted by the number of shares traded that day. It gives more influence to prices on days with heavier trading, so it reflects where most market activity actually occurred rather than treating every day equally. Investors use it as a more realistic benchmark for value, performance tracking, and to compare execution quality.
