4 terms

Rule 10b5-1 trading plan regulatory

"The remainder of the shares were sold 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.

weighted average price financial

"The price in column 4 represents the weighted average price."

Weighted average price is the average price of a security where each trade or component is counted according to its size, so bigger trades pull the average more than smaller ones. Think of it like calculating the average cost of a grocery haul where items you bought more of have greater influence on the final per-item cost. Investors use it to understand the true average price paid or received, judge execution quality, and compare trading performance against market movement.

restricted stock units financial

"tax withholding obligations that arose in connection with the vesting and settlement of restricted stock units"

Restricted stock units are a type of company reward where employees are promised shares of stock, but they only fully own these shares after meeting certain conditions, like staying with the company for a set time. They matter because they can become valuable assets and are often used to motivate employees to help the company succeed.

tax withholding obligations financial

"sold automatically on behalf of the Reporting Person, as required by the Issuer, to satisfy tax withholding obligations"
