Performance Stock Options financial

"remaining 25% of the Performance Stock Options"

vesting financial

"Represents the vesting of the remaining 25%"

Vesting is the process by which you earn full ownership of something, like company stock or a retirement benefit, over time. It’s like earning the right to keep a gift piece by piece the longer you stay with a company, making sure employees stay committed before they receive all the benefits.

exercise price financial

"conversion or exercise price"

The exercise price is the fixed amount at which you can buy or sell an asset, like a stock, when using an options contract. It matters because it helps determine whether exercising the option will be profitable or not, depending on the current market price. Think of it as the set price you agree on today to buy or sell later.

performance criteria financial

"satisfaction of performance criteria specified for the award"
