They matter because they can become valuable assets and are often used to motivate employees to help the company succeed.

"Shares of common stock acquired upon the vesting of restricted stock units and performance-based restricted stock units"

Performance stock units are a type of company award that grants employees shares of stock only if certain performance goals are met. They motivate employees to work toward specific company achievements, aligning their interests with those of shareholders. For investors, they can influence a company's future stock supply and reflect management’s confidence in reaching key targets.
