Restricted Stock Unit (RSU) financial
"Each Restricted Stock Unit (RSU) represents a contingent right to receive one share of Cohu, Inc."
A restricted stock unit (RSU) is a promise from a company to give an employee company shares (or cash equal to their value) at a future date if certain conditions are met, such as staying with the company or hitting performance targets. For investors, RSUs matter because when they convert into actual shares they increase the number of shares available and can create selling pressure as employees cash out—think of them as a future paycheck paid in company stock.

FAQ

What did Cohu (COHU) director William Bendush receive in this Form 4 filing?

Director William Bendush received 3,578 Restricted Stock Units (RSUs) as equity compensation. Each RSU represents a contingent right to one share of Cohu common stock, subject to vesting conditions tied to time and continued board service.

How do William Bendush’s new Cohu (COHU) RSUs vest?

The 3,578 Cohu RSUs vest on the earlier of one year from the grant date or the next annual stockholders meeting. Vesting requires Bendush to maintain continued service on the Cohu board of directors through that vesting date.

What change occurred in the Bendush Living Trust’s Cohu (COHU) holdings?

An additional 10,257 Cohu common shares were transferred into the Bendush Living Trust. After this restructuring transaction, the trust holds 35,037 Cohu shares indirectly attributable to director William Bendush, reflecting updated ownership structure rather than a market trade.

Are the new Cohu (COHU) RSUs immediately converted into common stock?

No, the 3,578 RSUs are not immediate common shares. Each RSU converts on a one-for-one basis into Cohu common stock only when it vests, assuming Bendush continues serving on the board until the applicable vesting date.

Does this Cohu (COHU) Form 4 show any open-market stock purchases or sales?

The Form 4 does not show open-market buys or sells. It reports an RSU grant to director Bendush and an ownership restructuring, where 10,257 common shares moved into the Bendush Living Trust as an indirect holding.
