Deferred Stock Units financial

"Represents an award of deferred stock units ("DSUs") granted to the Reporting Person"

Deferred stock units are promises from a company to give an employee shares of stock at a future date, often after certain conditions are met or after leaving the company. They function like a form of delayed compensation, allowing employees to earn shares over time. For investors, they represent potential future ownership in the company, but do not provide immediate voting rights or dividends until the shares are actually received.

2017 Equity Incentive Plan financial

"pursuant to the Adamas Trust, Inc. 2017 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended from time to time"

Change in Control financial

"settlement of the vested DSUs has been deferred until the date of a Change in Control"

A "change in control" occurs when the ownership or management of a company shifts significantly, such as through a merger, acquisition, or sale of a large part of its assets. This change can impact how the company is run and may influence its future direction. For investors, it matters because it can affect the company's stability, strategy, and value, often signaling potential changes in investment risk or opportunity.

vest financial

"The DSUs will vest on the day immediately preceding the date of the Issuer's annual meeting"

A vest is the process by which an employee earns the right to receive certain benefits or ownership interests, such as stock or retirement funds, over time. It’s similar to earning a reward gradually, ensuring that the benefit becomes fully yours only after a set period or meeting specific conditions. This makes it important for investors because it determines when they can actually claim or use those benefits.
