Key Terms

restricted shares, 2021 Share Incentive Plan, vesting, grant date

4 terms

restricted shares financial

"Consists of restricted shares granted to the Reporting Person pursuant to the Company's 2021 Share Incentive Plan"

Restricted shares are company stock that cannot be sold or transferred immediately because they are subject to legal or contractual limits, such as a required holding period or performance conditions. They matter to investors because these locked-up shares can affect a company’s available stock for trading, future dilution, and insider incentives—imagine a gift that can’t be cashed until certain conditions are met, which changes when and how much supply can suddenly enter the market.

2021 Share Incentive Plan financial

"restricted shares granted to the Reporting Person pursuant to the Company's 2021 Share Incentive Plan"

vesting financial

"which are delivered on vesting of the shares. Of such shares, one-third vest 12 months from the grant date"

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.

grant date financial

"one-third vest 12 months from the grant date, one-third vest 24 months from the grant date"

The grant date is the day a company formally gives an employee or contractor the right to receive stock-based compensation, such as stock options or restricted shares. It matters to investors because it fixes key terms—like the price, the start of the ownership clock, and when the award will affect the company’s financial statements and share count—so it can influence dilution, reported expenses, and potential future selling pressure.
