performance restricted stock units ("PRSUs") financial
"Represents shares acquired upon the vesting of performance restricted stock units ("PRSUs")"
restricted stock units ("RSUs") financial
"represents shares of the issuer's Class A Common Stock withheld ... upon the vesting of restricted stock units ("RSUs")"
Restricted stock units (RSUs) are a company promise to give an employee shares of stock (or cash equivalent) in the future, but only after certain conditions—usually staying with the company for a set time or hitting performance goals—are met. Investors watch RSUs because when they vest they increase the number of shares outstanding and can lead insiders to sell shares, affecting share price, company dilution and the true cost of employee pay.
Rule 10b5-1 trading plan regulatory
"executed pursuant to a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan adopted by the reporting person"
A Rule 10b5-1 trading plan is a pre-arranged schedule that allows company insiders to buy or sell stock at specific times, even if they have inside information. It helps prevent accusations of unfair trading by making these transactions look planned and transparent, rather than sneaky or illegal.
withholding tax liability financial
"withheld by the issuer in payment of the withholding tax liability incurred upon the vesting"
revocable trust financial
"Johnson Joint Revocable Trust, a revocable trust of which the Reporting Person and her spouse serve as trustees"
A revocable trust is a legal arrangement where the person who creates it keeps control and can change or cancel the trust at any time, while naming who will manage and receive the assets later. Think of it like a flexible folder for your investments and property that can be relabeled or reworked as circumstances change; it matters to investors because it determines how ownership is recorded, how easily assets transfer on incapacity or death, and whether holdings bypass public probate proceedings.
