Key Terms

3 terms

time-based vesting restrictions financial

"The award is subject to time-based vesting restrictions."

grant date financial

"The restrictions will lapse on the earlier of (i) the first anniversary of the grant date..."

The grant date is the day a company formally gives an employee or contractor the right to receive stock-based compensation, such as stock options or restricted shares. It matters to investors because it fixes key terms—like the price, the start of the ownership clock, and when the award will affect the company’s financial statements and share count—so it can influence dilution, reported expenses, and potential future selling pressure.

annual stockholder meeting financial

"or (ii) the date of the next annual stockholder meeting, so long as that meeting is at least 50 weeks..."

An annual stockholder meeting is a yearly gathering where a company's owners (shareholders) receive updates on performance, vote on key issues like board members, executive pay and major corporate plans, and ask questions of management. Think of it as a company town hall where choices about oversight and direction are decided; outcomes can affect management accountability, corporate strategy and ultimately the value and risks of investors’ shares.
