Rule 10b5-1 trading plan regulatory
"transactions were effected pursuant to a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan adopted"
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.
weighted average price financial
"The price reported 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.
material non-public information regulatory
"at a time when the Reporting Person was not in possession of material non-public"
Material non-public information is important news about a company that hasn't been shared with the public yet, like a secret that could affect its stock price. Using this inside information to buy or sell stocks is unfair and illegal because it gives someone an unfair advantage over others who don’t have the same info.
