Restricted Stock Unit financial
"The filing lists restricted stock units convertible into 11,211, 9,685, and 3,169 Cognex common shares."
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.
Non-Qualified Stock Option (right to buy) financial
"Mark Fennell holds several non-qualified stock options, including 52,876 underlying shares at an exercise price of $64.4300."
exercise price financial
"These RSUs have a stated exercise price of $0.0000 and various expiration dates between 2027 and 2029."
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.
expiration date financial
"Each option position includes a specific expiration date, such as 2032-02-22 or 2035-02-18."
The expiration date is the deadline after which a financial contract, such as an option or a futures agreement, is no longer valid or can be exercised. It matters to investors because it determines the timeframe during which they can take action or benefit from the contract, similar to how a coupon or a food item has a limited period of usefulness. Once the expiration date passes, the contract loses its value or ability to be used.
