"On July 1, 2026, the reporting person was granted 14,783 restricted stock units."
A restricted stock unit is a promise from a company to give an employee shares of stock after certain conditions are met, like staying with the company for a set amount of time. It’s like earning a bonus that turns into company stock once you’ve proven your commitment, making it a way to motivate and reward employees.

"Restricted stock unit awards shall vest as to 1/8th (12.5%) of the shares October 15, 2026 and 1/16th (6.25%) of the shares quarterly thereafter"
A vest is the process by which an employee earns the right to receive certain benefits or ownership interests, such as stock or retirement funds, over time. It’s similar to earning a reward gradually, ensuring that the benefit becomes fully yours only after a set period or meeting specific conditions. This makes it important for investors because it determines when they can actually claim or use those benefits.
