short-term incentive financial
"bonus/short-term incentive is 100% of his base salary"
A short-term incentive is a cash or similar bonus paid to employees, often executives or sales staff, for meeting performance targets over a brief period (typically a year or less). It matters to investors because these payments shape management behavior, influence reported profits and cash flow, and signal which goals the company prioritizes—like rewarding quarterly sales or cost cuts—so they can affect future growth, risk and shareholder value.
long-term incentive (LTI) financial
"his long-term incentive (LTI) opportunity is a total intended target value at grant"
pro-rata bonus financial
"entitled to a pro-rata bonus"
accelerated vesting financial
"full accelerated vesting of any outstanding LTI awards"
A contract feature that makes stock awards, options, or restricted shares become owned or exercisable earlier than the original schedule. It shortens or cancels the waiting period so recipients can sell, transfer, or exercise their equity sooner — think of a timed lock that is unlocked ahead of schedule. It matters to investors because it changes when shares enter the market, who controls them, and how much dilution or ownership concentration happens.
