Restricted stock financial

"Restricted stock awarded to non-management directors as an annual retainer equity award"

Shares granted to an individual that carry limits on transfer or sale until certain conditions are met, such as staying with the company for a set time or hitting performance targets. Think of them as a locked gift that gradually opens; for investors they matter because they affect how many shares may enter the market later, signal management incentives and potential dilution, and reveal confidence in future company performance.

tax liability financial

"Common Shares being withheld to pay tax liability."

Long Term Incentive Plan financial

"pursuant to the Assured Guaranty Ltd. 2024 Long Term Incentive Plan"

A long term incentive plan is a company program that awards executives and key employees bonuses—often in stock, options, or cash—only if the business meets multi-year performance goals. It links management pay to company results—like tying a coach’s bonus to a team’s multi-season record—so investors monitor it for how leaders are motivated, potential share dilution, and signals about the company’s long-term priorities.
