"Security title listed as Stock Option (right to buy) for the grant."

Restricted Stock Unit (RSU) financial

"Security title recorded as Restricted Stock Unit (RSU) in the transaction data."

A restricted stock unit (RSU) is a promise from a company to give an employee company shares (or cash equal to their value) at a future date if certain conditions are met, such as staying with the company or hitting performance targets. For investors, RSUs matter because when they convert into actual shares they increase the number of shares available and can create selling pressure as employees cash out—think of them as a future paycheck paid in company stock.

When do the ACHV director’s options and RSUs vest?

Both the options and RSUs vest 100% on the earlier of July 27, 2027 or immediately before ACHV’s 2027 annual meeting of stockholders. Vesting is conditioned on the director continuing to provide service to the company through the applicable vesting date.

The transactions are grant/award acquisitions, not market purchases. They consist of compensatory stock option and RSU awards granted to a director, both reported with transaction code “A” for grant, award, or other acquisition, at a stated exercise price only for the options.
