restricted stock units (RSUs) financial

"Represents an award of restricted stock units (RSUs). Each RSU represents a contingent right to receive one share of Common Stock."

Restricted stock units (RSUs) are a type of company promise to give employees shares of stock in the future, usually after certain conditions like working for a set time. They are like a gift promised today that you receive later, which can become valuable if the company's stock price goes up. RSUs matter because they are a way companies reward employees and can be a significant part of compensation.

Tax Obligation Award financial

"Each Tax Obligation Award was the economic equivalent of one Ordinary Share that, upon vest, was converted into to a cash payment primarily to cover tax obligations."

weighted average price financial

"The price reported in Column 8 is a weighted average price denominated in Yen."

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.

Ordinary Shares financial

"Each Tax Obligation Award is the economic equivalent of one Ordinary Share that, upon vest, will be converted to a cash payment."

Ordinary shares are a type of ownership stake in a company, giving shareholders a right to participate in the company’s profits and decision-making through voting. They are similar to owning a piece of a business, and their value can rise or fall based on the company's performance. Investors buy ordinary shares to potentially earn dividends and benefit from the company's growth over time.

contingent right financial

"Each RSU represents a contingent right to receive one share of Common Stock."
