2021 Equity Incentive Plan financial
"Represents the grant of stock options to purchase shares of the Issuer's common stock under its 2021 Equity Incentive Plan (the "2021 Plan")."
cashless basis financial
"The options vested in full as of the grant date, are exercisable on a "cashless basis" for a period of ten (10) years from the award date."
An agreement executed on a cashless basis lets a holder convert or exercise a security (like options, warrants, or conversion rights) without paying money upfront; instead the holder receives a smaller number of shares equal in value to what the cash would have purchased. Think of trading a coupon for fewer slices of a cake rather than handing over cash for the full slice. For investors, it affects how much ownership and dilution occur and avoids immediate cash outlays.
performance milestones financial
"The options vest upon the achievement of certain performance milestones, are exercisable on a "cashless basis" during the period commencing on the date they vest."
antidilutive financial
"The options are antidilutive for any future transaction that provides for the issuance of 10% or more of the Company's common stock outstanding on a fully diluted basis."
fully diluted basis financial
"10% or more of the Company's common stock outstanding on a fully diluted basis."
A fully diluted basis counts every share that could exist if all outstanding options, warrants, convertible securities and other rights were exercised or converted into common stock, showing the maximum number of shares outstanding. For investors this matters because it spreads ownership and earnings across that larger share count, like slicing a pie into every possible piece before deciding how big each investor’s slice will be, which affects per-share value and ownership percentage.
