"upon the vesting of performance-based equity awards under the Company's long-term incentive"

Long-term incentive plans are multi-year pay programs that reward executives and key employees with stock, options, or cash bonuses when the company hits future performance goals. Think of it like paying someone with a portion of the business or future bonuses to keep them focused on growing the company over several years. Investors watch these plans because they influence executive decisions, potential share dilution, and whether management’s goals line up with long-term shareholder value.

They are similar to owning a piece of a business, and their value can rise or fall based on the company's performance. Investors buy ordinary shares to potentially earn dividends and benefit from the company's growth over time.
