Restricted stock award financial

"Restricted stock award granted pursuant to the CTS Corporation 2018 Equity and Incentive Compensation Plan"

A restricted stock award is company shares given to an employee or executive that cannot be sold or fully owned until certain conditions—like staying with the company for a set time or hitting performance targets—are met. Think of it as a gift that only becomes yours after you fulfill specific obligations; for investors, these awards matter because they can increase the total shares outstanding when they vest, reveal how management is being paid and motivated, and create potential selling pressure when restrictions lift.

CTS Corporation 2018 Equity and Incentive Compensation Plan financial

"Restricted stock award granted pursuant to the CTS Corporation 2018 Equity and Incentive Compensation Plan"

vests ratably over three years financial

"that vests ratably over three years commencing on the first anniversary of the grant date"

grant date financial

"commencing on the first anniversary of the grant date, subject to the reporting person's continued service"

The grant date is the day a company formally gives an employee or contractor the right to receive stock-based compensation, such as stock options or restricted shares. It matters to investors because it fixes key terms—like the price, the start of the ownership clock, and when the award will affect the company’s financial statements and share count—so it can influence dilution, reported expenses, and potential future selling pressure.
