restricted stock units ("RSUs") financial

"These securities are restricted stock units ("RSUs"). Each RSU represents a contingent right to receive one share"

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.

Quarterly Vesting Dates financial

"Quarterly Vesting Dates means March 10, May 15, August 15, and November 15."

Vesting Commencement Date financial

"on or immediately following the date that is six (6) months following the Vesting Commencement Date"

The vesting commencement date is the starting point when an employee begins earning ownership rights to their promised benefits, such as stock options or retirement contributions. Think of it like the day a savings account is opened—only after this date do the benefits start to grow and become fully available over time. It matters to investors because it marks when the clock begins ticking toward full ownership, affecting the timing and value of these benefits.

Irrevocable Trust financial

"Burnette Family Irrevocable Trust dated August 11, 2025."

An irrevocable trust is a legal arrangement where an owner transfers assets into a separate entity managed by a trustee and gives up the power to modify or reclaim those assets. For investors it matters because putting stock or other holdings into such a trust can change who controls and benefits from the assets, affect taxes and creditor protection, and influence how easy it is to sell or value those holdings—like placing valuables in a locked safe overseen by someone else.

trustee financial

"The shares are held by Citizens Trust Company of Delaware, Trustee of the Burnette Family Irrevocable Trust"

A trustee is a person or institution legally appointed to hold and manage assets or enforce an agreement on behalf of other people (beneficiaries). Think of a trustee as a neutral referee or custodian who must act in the beneficiaries’ best interests, follow the trust or contract rules, and handle distributions, recordkeeping and enforcement. Investors care because a trustworthy trustee protects their rights, ensures promised payments or remedies are delivered, and can influence recoveries if things go wrong.
