Restricted stock financial
"Restricted stock granted in connection with 2026 director service which will vest one year from the anniversary of the grant date."
Shares granted to an individual that carry limits on transfer or sale until certain conditions are met, such as staying with the company for a set time or hitting performance targets. Think of them as a locked gift that gradually opens; for investors they matter because they affect how many shares may enter the market later, signal management incentives and potential dilution, and reveal confidence in future company performance.
restricted stock units financial
"Includes restricted stock and restricted stock units granted for service as a director and dividends awarded."
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.
dividends awarded financial
"Includes restricted stock and restricted stock units granted for service as a director and dividends awarded."
