bona fide gift financial
"Transaction code G is described as a bona fide gift of shares"
A bona fide gift is a genuine, voluntary transfer of money, property, or benefits from one party to another made without expectation of repayment, services, or hidden conditions. Investors care because such gifts can affect company disclosures, related‑party transaction rules, tax treatment, and perceived conflicts of interest; think of it like someone giving you a present with no strings attached — but on a corporate scale, auditors and regulators need to verify it really is unconditional.
restricted stock unit financial
"Each restricted stock unit represents the right to receive one share"
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.
class B stock financial
"Each restricted stock unit represents the right to receive one share of class B stock"
Class B stock is a type of company share that usually carries different voting or economic rights than the more common Class A shares — for example, fewer votes per share or different dividend rules. Investors care because those differences affect control and potential returns: it’s like owning a cheaper seat at an event that gives less say over what happens, so Class B shares can trade at different prices and influence how much sway a shareholder has over company decisions.
average annual adjusted EBITDA financial
"Vesting depends on Astronics Corp.'s average annual adjusted EBITDA for the period"
target number of restricted stock units financial
"The "target" number of restricted stock units is reported for each award"
