2018 Equity Incentive Plan financial

"Represents an award of stock units under the Issuer's 2018 Equity Incentive Plan."

stock units financial

"Represents an award of stock units under the Issuer's 2018 Equity Incentive Plan."

Stock units are individual pieces of ownership in a company, like slices of a pie that together make up the whole business. They matter to investors because each unit represents a claim on the company’s assets, profits and sometimes voting power, and changes in the number or value of these units affect ownership percentages, potential dividends and share dilution — all of which influence an investment’s worth.

vesting financial

"The shares subject to the award vest in full on the earlier of May 22, 2027 or the day prior to the date of the Issuer's next annual meeting of stockholders."

Vesting is the process by which you earn full ownership of something, like company stock or a retirement benefit, over time. It’s like earning the right to keep a gift piece by piece the longer you stay with a company, making sure employees stay committed before they receive all the benefits.
