restricted stock units financial

"The Reporting Person was granted restricted stock units ("RSUs") under the Issuer's 2021 Equity Incentive Plan."

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.

2021 Equity Incentive Plan financial

"The Reporting Person was granted restricted stock units ("RSUs") under the Issuer's 2021 Equity Incentive Plan."

vest financial

"Subject to the Reporting Person's continued service, the RSUs vest on the third anniversary of the grant date."

A vest is the process by which an employee earns the right to receive certain benefits or ownership interests, such as stock or retirement funds, over time. It’s similar to earning a reward gradually, ensuring that the benefit becomes fully yours only after a set period or meeting specific conditions. This makes it important for investors because it determines when they can actually claim or use those benefits.

Common Shares financial

"Each RSU represents the right to receive one common share."

Common shares are the basic units of ownership in a company that give holders a claim on profits and a right to vote on key matters, like electing the board. Think of them as membership cards in a club: they let you share in successes and losses, but in a bankruptcy or liquidation they are paid after creditors and preferred shareholders, so their value can swing more and matters for assessing risk and potential return.
