Restricted Stock Awards (RSAs) financial

"Restricted Stock Awards ("RSAs") vest"

three-for-two stock split financial

"declared a three-for-two stock split"

stock dividend financial

"in the form of a 50% stock dividend"

A stock dividend is when a company gives its existing shareholders extra shares instead of cash. It’s like receiving more pieces of the same pie rather than a bigger piece of money, which can increase the number of shares you own but usually doesn’t change the total value of your investment right away. Investors care about it because it can signal the company's growth and affect the stock’s price.

forfeiture financial

"subject to earlier forfeiture"
