weighted average price financial
"The price reported in Column 4 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.
restricted stock units financial
"Includes: i) 681,623 shares of Class A common stock... ii) 971,830 restricted stock units"
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.
fully vested financial
"1,325,608 options to purchase Class A common stock that are fully vested"
transfer restrictions financial
"shares of Class A common stock that are not subject to vesting or transfer restrictions"
Transfer restrictions are legal or contractual limits that prevent or delay selling, gifting, or otherwise moving ownership of a security. Think of them like a temporary lock on a share that can be imposed by law, a contract, or a registrar: they matter to investors because they reduce liquidity, can delay when holders can realize cash, and often affect a security’s market value and attractiveness to buyers.
