5 terms
Rule 10b5-1 trading plan regulatory
"This transaction was executed pursuant to a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan adopted on November 10, 2025."
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 67,476 restricted stock units ("RSUs"). Each RSU represents a contingent right to receive, upon vesting, one share of Common Stock."
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.
weighted average price financial
"The price reported above is a weighted average price. The shares were sold in multiple transactions at prices ranging from $48.69 to $49.63, inclusive."
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.
reverse stock split financial
"shares of the Issuer's common stock (which have been adjusted to reflect the Issuer's 1-for-25 reverse stock split on September 8, 2023)"
A reverse stock split is when a company reduces the number of its shares outstanding, making each share more valuable. For example, if you own 100 shares worth $1 each, a 1-for-10 reverse split would turn your 100 shares into 10 shares worth $10 each. Companies often do this to boost their stock price and appear more stable to investors.
