restricted stock units financial

"underlying restricted stock units granted under the Plan"

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.

market capitalization milestones financial

"upon the Company's achievement of certain market capitalization milestones"

vest financial

"which shall vest in two tranches"

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.

2011 Equity Incentive Plan financial

"underlying restricted stock units previously granted under the Company's 2011 Equity Incentive Plan"
