Key Terms

4 terms

restricted stock unit financial

"Each restricted stock unit ("RSU") represents the right"

A restricted stock unit is a promise from a company to give an employee shares of stock after certain conditions are met, like staying with the company for a set amount of time. It’s like earning a bonus that turns into company stock once you’ve proven your commitment, making it a way to motivate and reward employees.

performance-based RSUs financial

"These performance-based RSUs are scheduled to vest"

Performance-based restricted stock units (RSUs) are promises to deliver company shares to employees only if the business meets specific goals, such as revenue, profit, stock-price targets, or strategic milestones. For investors, they matter because they change future share supply and align management incentives with company results—like a salesperson whose bonus only pays out when sales targets are hit—so they can affect earnings, dilution, and confidence in leadership.

relative total shareholder return financial

"based on Apple's relative total shareholder return"

Relative total shareholder return measures how much an investor’s gain from a company — including stock price changes and dividends — beats or lags a chosen benchmark or peer group over a set time. Think of it as a race: it shows whether the company outpaced rivals or the market, which helps investors and boards judge performance, compare returns fairly, and link results to pay or investment decisions.

semi-annual installments financial

"12.5% in semi-annual installments over a four-year period"
