4 terms

Rule 10b5-1 trading plan regulatory

"The sale reported in this Form 4 was effected pursuant to a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan"

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.

restricted stock units ("RSUs") financial

"Includes 893,176 shares represented by restricted stock units ("RSUs") and performance restricted stock units ("PSUs")."

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.

performance restricted stock units ("PSUs") financial

"Includes 893,176 shares represented by restricted stock units ("RSUs") and performance restricted stock units ("PSUs")."

weighted average price financial

"The price reported is a weighted average price. These shares were sold in multiple transactions"

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.
