Restricted Stock Units financial
"Each granted restricted stock unit ("RSU") represents the right to receive one share of the Issuer's common stock."
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.
Dividend equivalent rights financial
"Dividend equivalent rights accrue with respect to unvested RSUs in the form of cash, securities, or other property when and as dividends are paid."
Dividend equivalent rights are promises that mirror the cash payments shareholders get from a company’s profits, but they are paid to holders of certain awards (like stock options or restricted stock units) rather than to actual shares. Think of them as a paycheck top‑up that matches dividends while the award is not yet a real stock, and they matter to investors because they add to employee compensation costs and potential share dilution, affecting company profitability and per‑share value.
Equity Incentive Plan financial
"subject to the terms and conditions of the previously disclosed Cherry Hill Mortgage Investment Corporation 2023 Equity Incentive Plan (the "Plan")."
An equity incentive plan is a program that gives employees, executives or directors the right to receive company stock or options to buy stock as part of their pay. Think of it as offering slices of future company profit to motivate people to boost long‑term performance; for investors it matters because it can align employee goals with shareholder value but also increases the number of shares outstanding, which can dilute existing ownership.
Restricted Stock Unit Agreement financial
"and the Restricted Stock Unit Agreement entered into between the Issuer and the Reporting Person."
A restricted stock unit agreement is a written contract between a company and an individual that describes a promise to deliver company shares or cash later, subject to conditions such as time-based vesting or performance targets. Think of it like a timed gift: the recipient only receives the shares if they meet the agreed conditions. Investors care because these agreements create future share issuance, affect potential dilution, corporate expenses and incentives for insiders, and influence when insiders may sell shares.
