weighted average price financial
"The reported price in Column 4 is a weighted average price."
Weighted average price is the average price of a security where each trade or component is counted according to its size, so bigger trades pull the average more than smaller ones. Think of it like calculating the average cost of a grocery haul where items you bought more of have greater influence on the final per-item cost. Investors use it to understand the true average price paid or received, judge execution quality, and compare trading performance against market movement.
indirect financial
"Ownership type for several sales is reported as indirect "By Spouse"."
By Trust financial
"An indirect holding of 169,369 shares is described as "By Trust"."
Rule 10b5-1 trading plan regulatory
"No Rule 10b5-1 trading plan is reported for these transactions."
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.
