Restricted Stock Units financial
"security_title: "Restricted Stock Units" with underlying Expedia common stock"
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.
tax-withholding disposition financial
"transaction_action: "tax-withholding disposition" for 6,663 common shares"
A tax-withholding disposition is an event or transaction—such as selling or transferring securities, exercising options, or receiving compensation—that triggers a requirement to hold back part of the payment and remit it to tax authorities. It matters to investors because it reduces the cash they receive immediately and can change the timing and amount of taxable income, like a cashier taking a portion of your sale proceeds to pay taxes before you get the rest.
Exercise or conversion of derivative security financial
"transaction_code_description: "Exercise or conversion of derivative security""
vesting financial
"shares withheld for payment of taxes due in connection with the vesting of restricted stock units"
Vesting is the process by which you earn full ownership of something, like company stock or a retirement benefit, over time. It’s like earning the right to keep a gift piece by piece the longer you stay with a company, making sure employees stay committed before they receive all the benefits.
quarterly vesting financial
