Key Terms

2 terms

Rule 144 regulatory

"definition of "person" in paragraph (a) of Rule 144"

Rule 144 is a U.S. securities regulation that sets conditions under which restricted or insider-held shares can be legally resold to the public, such as required holding periods, availability of public information, limits on how much can be sold at once, and certain filing requirements. For investors it matters because it determines when previously locked-up shares can enter the market — like a release valve that can increase supply, affect share price, and signal insider intent.

Stock Option Exercise financial

"Nature of acquisition: Stock Option Exercise"

A stock option exercise is the act of using a previously granted right to buy shares of a company's stock at a specific, predetermined price by paying that price and receiving the shares. It matters to investors because exercising changes who owns the shares (which can dilute existing ownership), can trigger taxable events and shift potential gains or losses, and affects voting power and the company’s outstanding share count—like turning a voucher into an actual product that becomes part of circulating supply.
