restricted stock unit financial
"Each restricted stock unit represents the right to receive, at settlement, one share of common stock."
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
"Shares issued pursuant to a one-for-five distribution of Class B stock to holders of both Common and 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 of these restricted stock units depends on Astronics Corp.'s average annual adjusted EBITDA for the period January 1, 2024- December 31, 2026."
one-for-five distribution financial
"Shares issued pursuant to a one-for-five distribution of Class B stock to holders of both Common and Class B stock"
performance-based vesting financial
