ESPP shares 12,023 shares Acquired under Liquidia Corporation 2020 Employee Stock Purchase Plan
Rule 10b5-1 plan regulatory
"Transaction effected pursuant to a Rule 10b5-1 plan adopted by the Reporting Person"
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 ("RSUs") financial
"taxes associated with the settlement of restricted stock units ("RSUs") that were initially granted"
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.
Employee Stock Purchase Plan financial
"12,023 shares acquired under the Liquidia Corporation 2020 Employee Stock Purchase Plan"
An employee stock purchase plan is a company program that lets workers buy shares through small payroll deductions, often at a discount to the market price and after a set offering period. Think of it like a workplace savings plan that turns into ownership: it encourages employees to share in the company’s success and can create predictable buying or selling of stock that investors watch because it affects supply, demand and employee incentives.
unvested RSUs financial
"Includes (i) 6,250 unvested RSUs of the 25,000 RSUs granted"
