Restricted Stock Units financial
"The Restricted Stock Units ("RSUs") were granted on May 19, 2026, pursuant to the Issuer's Non-Employee Director Compensation Program."
Restricted stock units are a type of company reward where employees are promised shares of stock, but they only fully own these shares after meeting certain conditions, like staying with the company for a set time. They matter because they can become valuable assets and are often used to motivate employees to help the company succeed.
Non-Employee Director Compensation Program financial
"The Restricted Stock Units ("RSUs") were granted on May 19, 2026, pursuant to the Issuer's Non-Employee Director Compensation Program."
pecuniary interest financial
"The Reporting Person disclaims beneficial ownership of such securities except to the extent of his pecuniary interest therein."
beneficial ownership financial
"The Reporting Person disclaims beneficial ownership of such securities except to the extent of his pecuniary interest therein."
Beneficial ownership means the person or entity that actually enjoys the benefits of owning shares or other assets — such as receiving dividends, voting rights, or price gains — even if the legal title is held in another name. For investors it matters because knowing who truly controls and profits from a company reveals who can influence decisions, exposes potential conflicts of interest or hidden concentration of power, and affects transparency and risk in the stock.
voting and investment power financial
"The Reporting Person is a manager of Topper Group III LLC and has voting and investment power of the securities held by Topper Group III LLC."
