restricted stock units ("RSUs") financial
"Represents restricted stock units ("RSUs") granted to the reporting person on June 11, 2026."
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.
Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 regulatory
"for purposes of Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or otherwise, the beneficial owner"
A provision of federal securities law that requires company insiders—directors, officers and large shareholders—to publicly report their stock holdings and trades and to surrender any “short-swing” profits from purchases and sales within a six-month window. It acts like a rule that forces leaders to announce their trades and prevents quick buy-sell windfalls, giving investors transparency into insider activity and reducing opportunities for unfair gain.
Non-GST Trust financial
"Represents shares held of record by the SIF 2020 Non-GST Trust (the "2020 Non-GST Trust")."
pecuniary interest financial
"The reporting person disclaims beneficial ownership of these shares, except to the extent of her pecuniary interest therein."
limited partnership financial
"Represents shares held of record by Sage Resources, Ltd., which is a limited partnership owned by the reporting person's family"
A limited partnership is a legal business structure with two types of partners: at least one general partner who runs the business and bears full legal responsibility, and one or more limited partners who contribute money, share profits, and have liability capped at their investment. For investors, it matters because it separates control from financial exposure — like putting money into a store without managing it — and affects how returns, risks, taxes and transferability of ownership are handled.
