Key Terms

3 terms

privately negotiated transaction financial

"sold 289,624 shares of Common Stock ... in a privately negotiated transaction"

A privately negotiated transaction is a deal whose terms are worked out directly between a buyer and a seller rather than through a public market or open auction. Think of it like selling a car to a neighbor instead of putting it on eBay: the price, timing and conditions are agreed one-on-one, so investors may see less public information, different pricing compared with market trades, and potential impacts on liquidity and valuation.

preliminary executor financial

"Ms. Lucchese is a preliminary executor of the Estate of M. Richard Robinson"

restricted stock units financial

"Includes 6,982 unvested restricted stock units"

Restricted stock units are a type of company reward where employees are promised shares of stock, but they only fully own these shares after meeting certain conditions, like staying with the company for a set time. They matter because they can become valuable assets and are often used to motivate employees to help the company succeed.
