Key Terms

equity incentive plan, proxy statement, proxy card

3 terms

equity incentive plan financial

"eligible to vote on a proposal to approve the FST Corp. 2025 Equity Incentive Plan"

An equity incentive plan is a program that gives employees, executives or directors the right to receive company stock or options to buy stock as part of their pay. Think of it as offering slices of future company profit to motivate people to boost long‑term performance; for investors it matters because it can align employee goals with shareholder value but also increases the number of shares outstanding, which can dilute existing ownership.

proxy statement regulatory

"A Proxy Statement providing voting instructions for the Meeting and information on the Company's 2025 Equity Incentive Plan"

A proxy statement is a document companies send to shareholders ahead of a meeting that lays out the items up for a vote—like who will sit on the board, executive pay, and major corporate decisions—and provides background so shareholders can decide how to cast their votes or appoint someone to vote for them. Think of it as an agenda plus a ballot and briefing notes, important because the outcomes can change control, strategy, and value.

proxy card regulatory

"A Proxy Statement ... and a Proxy Card providing voting instructions may be found on the SEC's website"

A proxy card is a document that allows shareholders to give someone else the authority to vote on their behalf at a company’s meeting. Think of it as a permission slip that ensures a shareholder’s interests are represented even if they cannot attend in person. For investors, proxy cards are important because they influence company decisions and governance, giving them a way to participate indirectly.
