restricted stock units ("RSUs") financial

"On June 3, 2026, the Issuer granted restricted stock units ("RSUs") to the Reporting Person"

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.

Outside Director Compensation Policy financial

"as an annual award automatically granted under the Issuer's Outside Director Compensation Policy"

vest financial

"100% of the RSUs shall vest on the earlier of the one-year anniversary"

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.

Class A Common Stock financial

"Each RSU represents the Reporting Person's right to receive one share of Class A Common Stock"

Class A common stock is a category of a company’s shares that carries a specific set of ownership rights—most commonly defined voting power and claims on dividends—set out in the company’s charter. For investors it matters because the class determines how much influence you have over corporate decisions, the share’s likely dividend and trading behavior, and how it compares in value to other share classes, like choosing a particular seat with different privileges at the company’s decision-making table.
