4 terms

restricted stock units ("RSUs") financial

"in connection with the net settlement of restricted stock units ("RSUs") that vested on June 11, 2026"

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.

tax withholding obligations financial

"shares withheld by the Issuer to satisfy tax withholding obligations in connection with the net settlement"

net settlement financial

"in connection with the net settlement of restricted stock units ("RSUs") that vested on June 11, 2026"

open-market sale financial

"do not constitute any open-market sale"

An open-market sale is when a shareholder sells existing shares directly on a public exchange to any willing buyer, rather than through a private deal. Think of it like putting goods on a busy market stall where price is set by supply and demand; for investors it matters because such sales increase available supply, can put short-term downward pressure on the stock price, and signal changes in liquidity or investor confidence.
