performance-based restricted stock units financial
"Reflects performance-based restricted stock units ("RSUs") granted under the ProFrac Holding Corp. 2022 Long Term Incentive Plan."
Performance-based restricted stock units are a type of employee equity award that converts into company shares only if predefined financial or operational targets are met over a set period. Think of it like a bonus check that becomes stock only when specific goals are hit; it ties pay to results, aligning managers’ incentives with shareholders. Investors care because these awards affect future share count, executive incentives, and signal how management’s success will be measured and rewarded.
2022 Long Term Incentive Plan financial
"RSUs granted under the ProFrac Holding Corp. 2022 Long Term Incentive Plan."
volume-weighted average price financial
"when the average of the daily volume-weighted average price per share of the Company's Class A common stock over the most recent 30 trading days"
Volume-weighted average price (VWAP) is the average price of a stock over a specific time period where each trade is weighted by the number of shares traded, so larger trades influence the average more than small ones. Investors and traders use VWAP as a reference point to judge whether trades are happening at relatively good or poor prices—like checking the average price paid for an item at a market where bulk purchases count more than single-item buys.
VWAP Threshold financial
"the "VWAP Threshold" equals or exceeds $7.00, 25% of the RSUs, when the VWAP Threshold equals or exceeds $10.00"
FAQ
What did ProFrac (ACDC) CFO Harbour Austin report on this Form 4?
Harbour Austin reported receiving 270,000 performance-based restricted stock units as compensation. Each RSU may convert into one share of ProFrac Class A common stock if stock price targets are achieved and employment conditions are satisfied after April 7, 2027.
What are the stock price targets for the ProFrac (ACDC) CFO RSUs?
The RSUs vest in tranches when the 30-day volume-weighted average price meets set levels: $7.00 for 10% of units, $10.00 for 25%, $14.00 for another 25%, and $18.00 for the remaining 40%, all after April 7, 2027.
When can the ProFrac (ACDC) CFO’s performance RSUs begin to vest?
The performance-based RSUs can begin vesting only following April 7, 2027. Vesting then depends on ProFrac’s Class A common stock meeting specific 30-day volume-weighted average price thresholds and Harbour Austin remaining continuously employed and in good standing on each vesting date.
What conditions besides stock price affect vesting of ACDC CFO RSUs?
In addition to stock price targets, the CFO must remain continuously employed by and in good standing with ProFrac or an affiliate. If he does not satisfy this service condition on a vesting date, the related portion of the performance-based restricted stock units would not vest.
