4 terms

unrestricted common stock financial

"Represents shares of unrestricted common stock received as consideration"

Non-statutory stock option financial

"Non-statutory stock option fully vested on issuance and granted"

A non-statutory stock option is a company-granted right that lets a person buy shares later at a set price but does not receive special tax-favored treatment under tax law. It matters to investors because when the option is used the holder usually pays ordinary income tax on the gain and the company records compensation cost and issues new shares, which can reduce existing owners’ percentage ownership—think of it like a coupon to buy stock that creates a taxable event and some dilution.

exercise price financial

"conversion_or_exercise_price": "32.3200"

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": "2036-08-15"

The expiration date is the deadline after which a financial contract, such as an option or a futures agreement, is no longer valid or can be exercised.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.
