Restricted Stock Unit financial
"security_title": "Restricted Stock Unit""
A restricted stock unit is a promise from a company to give an employee shares of stock after certain conditions are met, like staying with the company for a set amount of time. It’s like earning a bonus that turns into company stock once you’ve proven your commitment, making it a way to motivate and reward employees.
NQSO financial
"security_title": "NQSO""
ISO financial
"security_title": "ISO""
An ISO is an incentive stock option, a form of employee benefit that lets workers buy company shares at a set price after a waiting period. It matters to investors because issuing ISOs can dilute existing shares and aligns employee incentives with long-term stock performance—think of it like giving employees coupons to buy future stock at today’s price, which can motivate growth but increase share count when used.
exercise price financial
"conversion_or_exercise_price": "1.2500""
The exercise price is the fixed amount at which you can buy or sell an asset, like a stock, when using an options contract. It matters because it helps determine whether exercising the option will be profitable or not, depending on the current market price. Think of it as the set price you agree on today to buy or sell later.
vesting financial
"The total includes 29,850 restricted stock units ("RSUs"), which are fully vested"
Vesting is the process by which you earn full ownership of something, like company stock or a retirement benefit, over time. It’s like earning the right to keep a gift piece by piece the longer you stay with a company, making sure employees stay committed before they receive all the benefits.
