performance-based restricted stock units financial
"Consists of (i) 163,636 shares of Common Stock underlying performance-based restricted stock units ("PSUs")"
Performance-based restricted stock units are a type of employee equity award that converts into company shares only if predefined financial or operational targets are met over a set period. Think of it like a bonus check that becomes stock only when specific goals are hit; it ties pay to results, aligning managers’ incentives with shareholders. Investors care because these awards affect future share count, executive incentives, and signal how management’s success will be measured and rewarded.
restricted stock units financial
"and (ii) 109,091 shares of Common Stock underlying restricted stock units ("RSUs")."
Restricted stock units are a type of company reward where employees are promised shares of stock, but they only fully own these shares after meeting certain conditions, like staying with the company for a set time. They matter because they can become valuable assets and are often used to motivate employees to help the company succeed.

Continued employment means that an individual remains in their current job without interruption. For investors, it signals stability and ongoing work that can affect company performance and future prospects. Like a steady heartbeat for a business, sustained employment helps ensure consistent operations and financial health.
