Equity awards given to a newly hired executive or employee as part of their pay package, intended to attract and motivate talent by granting company stock or options. Investors care because these grants dilute existing share ownership and signal how a company is allocating compensation to recruit or retain key people — think of it as bringing a new teammate in with an ownership stake that changes the size of everyone’s slice of the pie.

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.
