"Represents a grant of restricted stock units issued to the Reporting Person under the Issuer's Amended and Restated 2022 Equity Incentive Plan"
Restricted stock units are a type of company reward where employees are promised shares of stock, but they only fully own these shares after meeting certain conditions, like staying with the company for a set time. They matter because they can become valuable assets and are often used to motivate employees to help the company succeed.

reverse stock split financial
"adjusted to reflect the Issuer's completion of a 1-for-11 reverse stock split on December 4, 2025"
A reverse stock split is when a company reduces the number of its shares outstanding, making each share more valuable. For example, if you own 100 shares worth $1 each, a 1-for-10 reverse split would turn your 100 shares into 10 shares worth $10 each. Companies often do this to boost their stock price and appear more stable to investors.
