restricted stock units ("RSUs") financial
"Represents restricted stock units ("RSUs") awarded under the Issuer's 2023 Stock Option"
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.

"Represents performance stock units ("PSUs") awarded under the Plan, each representing"
measurement period financial
"The PSUs will vest in up to three tranches over a two and a half year measurement period"
average closing price financial
"Each tranche of PSUs will vest only if the average closing price of the Series A"
The average closing price is the arithmetic mean of a security’s end-of-day prices over a chosen period, found by adding each day’s closing price and dividing by the number of days. It smooths out daily ups and downs to show a typical market value—like averaging daily temperatures to understand a month’s climate—and helps investors spot trends, judge whether a stock is generally rising or falling, and make clearer buy or sell decisions.
stock split financial
"subject to proportionate adjustment in the event of any stock split or other similar"
A stock split increases the number of a company's shares by dividing each existing share into multiple new shares while reducing the price per share by the same proportion, so an investor's total value and ownership percentage stay the same. It matters because lower per-share prices can make trading easier and attract more buyers, similar to breaking a large chocolate bar into smaller pieces to make it easier to share, which can boost liquidity and market interest.
