performance-based RSUs financial

"Represents an adjustment to the shares subject to performance-based RSUs granted in 2023"

Performance-based restricted stock units (RSUs) are promises to deliver company shares to employees only if the business meets specific goals, such as revenue, profit, stock-price targets, or strategic milestones. For investors, they matter because they change future share supply and align management incentives with company results—like a salesperson whose bonus only pays out when sales targets are hit—so they can affect earnings, dilution, and confidence in leadership.

quarterly dividends financial

"in connection with the payment of quarterly dividends to stockholders for the first quarter of 2026"

underlying award agreement financial

"pursuant to the terms and conditions of the underlying award agreement"
