Rule 10b5-1 plan financial
"Transaction effected pursuant to a Rule 10b5-1 plan adopted by the Reporting Person on November 5, 2025."
A Rule 10b5-1 plan is a prearranged, written schedule that lets corporate insiders buy or sell company stock at set times or amounts, even if they later learn material nonpublic information. Think of it like setting an automatic thermostat for trades: it creates a clear record that trades were planned in advance, reducing the risk of insider-trading accusations and helping investors trust that insider transactions are routine rather than based on secret information.
restricted stock units financial
"Includes (i) 54,281 unvested restricted stock units ("RSUs") of the 289,500 RSUs granted to the Reporting Person on January 11, 2023..."
Restricted stock units are a type of company reward where employees are promised shares of stock, but they only fully own these shares after meeting certain conditions, like staying with the company for a set time. They matter because they can become valuable assets and are often used to motivate employees to help the company succeed.
volume weighted average price financial
"Price is the volume weighted average price of all transactions made by the Reporting Person on the transaction date..."
The volume weighted average price (VWAP) is a way to measure the average price of a security, such as a stock, over a specific period, taking into account how many units were traded at each price. It’s similar to calculating the average cost of items bought when some are more frequently purchased than others. Investors use VWAP to assess whether a security is being bought or sold at a fair price during trading.
voting and dispositive power financial
"The Reporting Person is a manager of Serendipity and has sole voting and dispositive power over the Issuer common stock held by Serendipity."
Living Trust financial
"The securities are held by Roger A. Jeffs Living Trust UAD 2/29/2000 (the "Trust")."
