Key Terms

Rule 144, Performance Shares, NASDAQ

3 terms

Rule 144 regulatory

"See the definition of "person" in paragraph (a) of Rule 144."

Rule 144 is a U.S. securities regulation that sets conditions under which restricted or insider-held shares can be legally resold to the public, such as required holding periods, availability of public information, limits on how much can be sold at once, and certain filing requirements. For investors it matters because it determines when previously locked-up shares can enter the market — like a release valve that can increase supply, affect share price, and signal insider intent.

Performance Shares financial

"Performance Shares"

Performance shares are a type of company stock given to executives or employees that only become theirs if the company meets specific goals, like hitting certain profits or growth targets. They motivate leaders to work toward the company’s success, because their additional shares depend on achieving these results.

NASDAQ market

"NASDAQ"

The Nasdaq is a stock exchange where many companies' shares are bought and sold, functioning much like a marketplace for investments. It matters to investors because it provides a platform to buy and sell ownership stakes in companies, helping them track the value of those companies and make informed decisions. As one of the largest and most technology-focused markets, it also reflects trends and developments in the business world.
