restricted stock financial
"Includes 400,000 shares of restricted stock granted on March 31, 2021."
Shares granted to an individual that carry limits on transfer or sale until certain conditions are met, such as staying with the company for a set time or hitting performance targets. Think of them as a locked gift that gradually opens; for investors they matter because they affect how many shares may enter the market later, signal management incentives and potential dilution, and reveal confidence in future company performance.
open market financial
"The shares are acquired by the administrator of the ESPP on the open market through the services of a duly registered stockbroker."
An open market is a system where buying and selling of goods, services, or financial assets happen freely without restrictions or special controls. For investors, it means they can trade assets easily and quickly, which helps determine fair prices based on supply and demand. This environment encourages transparency and competition, making it easier to buy or sell with confidence.
indirect ownership financial

Common Stock financial
"The shares of Common Stock were acquired pursuant to the Kingsway America Inc. Employee Share Purchase Plan"
Common stock represents ownership shares in a company, giving investors a stake in its success and a say in important decisions through voting rights. It is the most common type of stock traded on markets and can provide income through dividends, as well as potential for value growth. For investors, holding common stock means sharing in the company’s profits and risks.
