exercise price financial
"conversion_or_exercise_price: 1.2200"
The exercise price is the fixed amount at which you can buy or sell an asset, like a stock, when using an options contract. It matters because it helps determine whether exercising the option will be profitable or not, depending on the current market price. Think of it as the set price you agree on today to buy or sell later.
expiration date financial
"expiration_date: 2036-06-11T00:00:00.000Z"
The expiration date is the deadline after which a financial contract, such as an option or a futures agreement, is no longer valid or can be exercised. It matters to investors because it determines the timeframe during which they can take action or benefit from the contract, similar to how a coupon or a food item has a limited period of usefulness. Once the expiration date passes, the contract loses its value or ability to be used.
annual meeting of stockholders financial
"Ocugen, Inc.'s next annual meeting of stockholders"
vesting financial
"The option vests upon the earlier of (a) June 11, 2027 or (b) Ocugen, Inc.'s next annual meeting of stockholders"
Vesting is the process by which you earn full ownership of something, like company stock or a retirement benefit, over time. It’s like earning the right to keep a gift piece by piece the longer you stay with a company, making sure employees stay committed before they receive all the benefits.
