Restricted Share Units financial

"Each restricted share unit represents a contingent right to receive one ordinary share."

Restricted share units (RSUs) are a promise from a company to give an employee or service provider actual shares or cash equal to the shares after certain conditions are met, typically staying with the company for a set time or hitting performance targets. Think of them like a time-locked gift card that becomes usable only after you’ve earned it. For investors, RSUs matter because they align employee incentives with company performance and can increase the number of shares outstanding over time, diluting existing ownership and affecting earnings per share.

ordinary share financial

"Each restricted share unit represents a contingent right to receive one ordinary share."

An ordinary share is a unit of ownership in a company that gives the holder a stake in its profits and usually the right to vote on key decisions. Think of it like a slice of a pizza where each slice entitles you to a portion of what’s left after bills are paid; value can rise or fall with the business and may pay dividends, so it matters to investors for income, growth and control.
