Restricted Stock Units ("RSUs") financial
"The reporting person was granted Restricted Stock Units ("RSUs") representing a portion of the annual grant of equity"
Restricted stock units (RSUs) are a company promise to give an employee shares of stock (or cash equivalent) in the future, but only after certain conditions—usually staying with the company for a set time or hitting performance goals—are met. Investors watch RSUs because when they vest they increase the number of shares outstanding and can lead insiders to sell shares, affecting share price, company dilution and the true cost of employee pay.
Non-Employee Director Compensation Policy financial
"for service as a non-employee director pursuant to the Issuer's Non-Employee Director Compensation Policy"
Stock Options financial
"The reporting person was granted options representing the remaining portion of the annual grant of equity"
Stock options are agreements that give a person the right to buy or sell a company's stock at a specific price within a certain time frame. They are often used as a reward or incentive, similar to a coupon that can be used later if the stock price rises, allowing the holder to make a profit.
