restricted stock units ("RSUs") financial

"Represents shares of the Registrant's common stock underlying restricted stock units ("RSUs") granted on July 3, 2026"

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.

Vesting Commencement Date financial

"on the first anniversary of June 30, 2026 (the "Vesting Commencement Date")"

The vesting commencement date is the starting point when an employee begins earning ownership rights to their promised benefits, such as stock options or retirement contributions. Think of it like the day a savings account is opened—only after this date do the benefits start to grow and become fully available over time. It matters to investors because it marks when the clock begins ticking toward full ownership, affecting the timing and value of these benefits.

quarterly vesting dates financial

"on each of the eight quarterly vesting dates (i.e., September 30, December 30, March 30, and June 30"
