"144: Securities Sold During The Past 3 Months"

Form 144 is a document that investors must file with the government when they plan to sell a large number of shares of a company's stock. It helps ensure transparency so everyone knows how many shares are being sold and when, which can impact the stock's price.

Performance Shares financial

"Common | 08/07/2025 | Performance Shares"

Performance shares are a type of company stock given to executives or employees that only become theirs if the company meets specific goals, like hitting certain profits or growth targets. They motivate leaders to work toward the company’s success, because their additional shares depend on achieving these results.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan financial

"Common | 11/15/2019 | Employee Stock Purchase Plan"

An employee stock purchase plan is a company program that lets workers buy shares through small payroll deductions, often at a discount to the market price and after a set offering period. Think of it like a workplace savings plan that turns into ownership: it encourages employees to share in the company’s success and can create predictable buying or selling of stock that investors watch because it affects supply, demand and employee incentives.

Restricted Stock financial

"Common | 11/15/2024 | Restricted Stock"

Shares granted to an individual that carry limits on transfer or sale until certain conditions are met, such as staying with the company for a set time or hitting performance targets. Think of them as a locked gift that gradually opens; for investors they matter because they affect how many shares may enter the market later, signal management incentives and potential dilution, and reveal confidence in future company performance.
