Employee Stock Purchase Plan financial
"Includes shares acquired pursuant to the Issuer's 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.
Rule 16-b3 regulatory
"Such acquisitions are exempt under Rule 16-b3."
weighted average price financial
"The price reported is a weighted average price."
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.
pecuniary interest financial
"disclaims beneficial ownership of these shares, except to the extent of his pecuniary interest therein."
Non-GST Trusts financial
"collectively, the "2011 Non-GST Trusts"."
GRAT financial
"Represents shares held of record by the JWF 2026-1 GRAT, for which the reporting person is the trustee"
