"in connection with the settlement of RSUs pursuant to an equity plan administered by the Issuer"
An equity plan is a company program that gives employees, executives or directors a stake in the business through stock, stock options or similar ownership awards, like handing out slices of a pie to people who help bake it. It matters to investors because these grants can motivate key personnel and align their interests with shareholders, but they also increase the number of shares over time and can dilute existing ownership and affect reported earnings.
