weighted average price financial
"The price reported is a weighted average price. These shares were sold"
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.
stock split financial
"but was adjusted to reflect the stock split that occurred immediately"
A stock split increases the number of a company's shares by dividing each existing share into multiple new shares while reducing the price per share by the same proportion, so an investor's total value and ownership percentage stay the same. It matters because lower per-share prices can make trading easier and attract more buyers, similar to breaking a large chocolate bar into smaller pieces to make it easier to share, which can boost liquidity and market interest.
initial public offering financial
"occurred immediately prior to the consummation of the Issuer's initial public offering."
An initial public offering (IPO) is when a private company first sells its shares to the public and becomes a stock-listed company. It matters because it allows the company to raise money from a wide range of investors, helping it grow, while giving early shareholders a way to sell some of their ownership.
fully vested and exercisable financial
"This stock option is fully vested and exercisable."
