Rule 10b5-1 plan regulatory

"effected pursuant to a Rule 10b5-1 plan adopted November 4, 2025 for tax and estate planning purposes"

A Rule 10b5-1 plan is a prearranged, written schedule that lets corporate insiders buy or sell company stock at set times or amounts, even if they later learn material nonpublic information. Think of it like setting an automatic thermostat for trades: it creates a clear record that trades were planned in advance, reducing the risk of insider-trading accusations and helping investors trust that insider transactions are routine rather than based on secret information.

weighted average purchase price financial

"The price reported above reflects the weighted average purchase price, rounded to the nearest hundredth."

The weighted average purchase price is the average cost per share you paid across multiple buys, calculated so larger purchases count more than smaller ones. Imagine buying apples at different prices: the overall price you effectively paid depends on how many apples you bought at each price. Investors use it to measure true cost basis, calculate gains or losses, decide when to sell, and manage taxes and portfolio performance.

Dividend equivalent units ("DEUs") financial

"Dividend equivalent units ("DEUs") issued on restricted unit awards are included in the reporting person's common stock holding balance."

economic equivalent financial

"Each DEU is the economic equivalent of one share of common stock of Annaly Capital Management, Inc."
