4 terms

Restricted Stock Unit financial

"Each restricted stock unit represents a contingent right to receive one share of Arista Networks, Inc. Common Stock upon vesting."

A restricted stock unit is a promise from a company to give an employee shares of stock after certain conditions are met, like staying with the company for a set amount of time. It’s like earning a bonus that turns into company stock once you’ve proven your commitment, making it a way to motivate and reward employees.

RSUs financial

"The reporting person was granted RSUs on May 30, 2025. 1/4th of the shares vest on August 20, 2025 and will continue to vest at the same rate on each quarterly vest date thereafter."

RSUs, or restricted stock units, are a form of company shares given to employees as part of their compensation. They are typically awarded with certain restrictions, such as a waiting period before they can be fully owned or sold, similar to earning a gift that becomes fully yours over time. For investors, RSUs can impact a company's stock offerings and reflect how much the company relies on stock-based incentives to attract and retain talent.

derivative security financial

"Transaction code M is described as Exercise or conversion of derivative security for this Form 4 entry."

A derivative security is a financial contract whose value comes from the price or performance of something else, such as a stock, bond, commodity, or market index. For investors it acts like an insurance policy or a wager: it can be used to protect against losses, lock in prices, or amplify gains and losses, so it can change a portfolio’s risk and potential return without owning the underlying asset directly.

quarterly vest date financial

"A quarterly vest date is the first market trading day on or after February 20, May 20, August 20, or November 20."
