restricted stock units ("RSUs") financial
"in connection with the vesting of restricted stock units ("RSUs")."
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.
sell to cover financial
"funded by "sell to cover" transactions and does not represent"
Sell to cover is when a person who receives company stock through options or awards sells just enough shares immediately to pay required taxes, exercise costs, or fees, keeping the rest. Think of it like cashing part of a bonus to cover the tax bill so you can keep the remainder. For investors, it can create predictable small selling pressure and slightly change the number of shares actually held by insiders without increasing long‑term dilution.
weighted average price financial
"The price reported 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.
block trade financial
"These shares were sold as part of a block trade in multiple transactions"
A block trade is a large, privately arranged sale or purchase of a company's shares or bonds between big investors, often negotiated to avoid upsetting the public market price. Think of it like selling a truckload of goods directly to one buyer instead of unloading it on a busy street — it moves a lot of supply at once and can signal shifting demand, affect immediate liquidity, and influence short-term stock prices.
