Rule 10b5-1 trading plan financial
"The transaction was effected pursuant to a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan adopted by the reporting person on August 13, 2025."
A Rule 10b5-1 trading plan is a pre-arranged schedule that allows company insiders to buy or sell stock at specific times, even if they have inside information. It helps prevent accusations of unfair trading by making these transactions look planned and transparent, rather than sneaky or illegal.
restricted stock unit financial
"These shares were acquired pursuant to a restricted stock unit grant under the Company's 2018 Stock Option and Incentive Plan (the "Plan")."
A restricted stock unit is a promise from a company to give an employee shares of stock after certain conditions are met, like staying with the company for a set amount of time. It’s like earning a bonus that turns into company stock once you’ve proven your commitment, making it a way to motivate and reward employees.
weighted average price financial
"The price reported 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.
2018 Stock Option and Incentive Plan financial
"These shares were acquired pursuant to a restricted stock unit grant under the Company's 2018 Stock Option and Incentive Plan (the "Plan")."
vest in full financial
"These shares shall vest in full upon the earlier to occur of June 4, 2026 or the date of the Company's next annual meeting of stockholders, subject to continued service through such vesting date."
