"granted an aggregate of 18,600 restricted stock units (“RSUs”) to three newly-hired"
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.

"with the Company in accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(c)(4)."
NASDAQ Listing Rule 5635(c)(4) is a rule that requires a company to get approval from its shareholders before selling a large amount of its shares, usually over 20%. This helps protect investors by making sure the company doesn't flood the market with new shares without their say, which could lower the stock's value.

"under the Company’s 2025 Inducement Equity Plan (the “Inducement Plan”)"
An inducement equity plan is a program that offers employees or executives new stock options or shares as a way to encourage them to join or stay with a company. It acts like a reward or incentive to motivate performance and loyalty, aligning their interests with the company's success. For investors, such plans can influence a company's share structure and future earnings, making them an important factor to consider.

"and the terms and conditions of award agreements covering the grants."
Award agreements are contracts that give employees, executives, consultants or board members the right to receive company stock, stock options, cash or other payments if certain conditions are met, such as continued service or performance targets. Investors care because these agreements affect how many shares can be issued (dilution), company expenses and the incentives that shape management’s decisions—think of them as structured bonuses that can change ownership and future earnings.
