Restricted Stock Units financial
"Represents an award of restricted stock units granted under the Plan"
Restricted stock units are a type of company reward where employees are promised shares of stock, but they only fully own these shares after meeting certain conditions, like staying with the company for a set time. They matter because they can become valuable assets and are often used to motivate employees to help the company succeed.
2021 Stock Incentive Plan financial
"granted under Cadre Holdings, Inc.'s (the "Issuer") 2021 Stock Incentive Plan"
volume-weighted average trading price financial
"achieves a volume-weighted average trading price ("VWAP") of at least $60.00 per share"
Volume-weighted average trading price (VWAP) is the average price of a stock over a trading period, where each trade’s price is weighted by how many shares changed hands, so big trades move the average more than small ones. Investors use VWAP as a benchmark to tell whether they bought or sold at a good price compared with the market’s trading activity—like checking if your grocery bill was close to the store’s typical daily average when many customers shopped.
VWAP financial
"achieves a VWAP of at least $80.00 per share over a 20 consecutive trading day"
VWAP, or Volume-Weighted Average Price, is a way to find the average price of a stock throughout the trading day, giving more importance to times when more shares are traded. It helps traders see the typical price and decide whether a stock is expensive or cheap compared to its average, similar to finding the average speed during a trip by giving more weight to times when you traveled faster or slower.
vesting financial
"all of which will vest if, on or before June 16, 2033, the Common Stock achieves"
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.
