restricted stock units ("RSUs") financial
"Represents shares sold to satisfy tax withholding obligations on the vesting of restricted stock units ("RSUs")."
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.
weighted average price financial
"The price reported above reflects the weighted average price of the shares sold."
Weighted average price is the average price of a security where each trade or component is counted according to its size, so bigger trades pull the average more than smaller ones. Think of it like calculating the average cost of a grocery haul where items you bought more of have greater influence on the final per-item cost. Investors use it to understand the true average price paid or received, judge execution quality, and compare trading performance against market movement.
scrivener's error financial
"Adjusted due to scrivener's error."
pecuniary interest financial
"Mr. Wang disclaims beneficial ownership of the shares held by the trust except to the extent of his pecuniary interest therein."
Class B Common Stock financial
"Each share of Class A Common Stock was exchanged at a 1:1 ratio for shares of Class B Common Stock."
A class B common stock is one of multiple types of a company’s ordinary shares that carries specific rights—often different voting power or dividend priority—compared with other classes. For investors it matters because those differences affect how much influence you have over company decisions, the income you might receive, and how freely the shares trade; think of it like owning a car with different keys: some keys let you start the engine and open the trunk, others only unlock the door.
convertible at any time financial
"Each share of Class B Common Stock is convertible at any time at the option of the Reporting Person into one share of Class A Common Stock."
