Key Terms

restricted stock units (RSUs), Director stock option (right to buy), vest, grant, award, or other acquisition

4 terms

restricted stock units (RSUs) financial

"Danaher Corporation granted the reporting person restricted stock units (RSUs) in the amount indicated."

Restricted stock units (RSUs) are a type of company promise to give employees shares of stock in the future, usually after certain conditions like working for a set time. They are like a gift promised today that you receive later, which can become valuable if the company's stock price goes up. RSUs matter because they are a way companies reward employees and can be a significant part of compensation.

Director stock option (right to buy) financial

"Director stock option (right to buy) with an exercise price and expiration date."

vest financial

"The RSUs vest on the earlier of the first anniversary of the grant date, or the date of the next annual meeting."

A vest is the process by which an employee earns the right to receive certain benefits or ownership interests, such as stock or retirement funds, over time. It’s similar to earning a reward gradually, ensuring that the benefit becomes fully yours only after a set period or meeting specific conditions. This makes it important for investors because it determines when they can actually claim or use those benefits.

grant, award, or other acquisition financial

"Transaction code indicates a Grant, award, or other acquisition of securities."
