Performance Restricted Stock Units financial
"approved the vesting of the Performance Restricted Stock Units, or “PRSUs”, granted to eligible executive officers"
Performance restricted stock units (PRSUs) are promises to deliver company shares to employees or executives only if the business meets specific performance targets and any time-based holding rules. Think of them as a bonus that converts into stock only after set goals are reached, so investors watch PRSUs for two reasons: they can dilute existing shares if paid out, and they signal how closely management’s pay is tied to company performance.
Return on Average Tangible Common Equity financial
"determined by Total Shareholder Return (“TSR”) and Return on Average Tangible Common Equity (“ROATCE”)"
A profitability ratio that shows how much profit common shareholders earn from the bank’s tangible equity — the shareholder capital left after removing goodwill, intangible assets and preferred stock — averaged over a period. Investors use it like a yield on the company’s real, hard capital to judge how efficiently management turns those tangible resources into earnings and to compare returns across banks or over time.
Long-Term Incentive Plan financial
"granted to eligible executive officers of the Company in 2023 under its Long-Term Incentive Plan"
A long-term incentive plan is a company program that pays executives or employees with stock, options, or cash tied to multi-year performance goals, where the rewards become theirs only after meeting conditions over time. Think of it as a delayed bonus or retirement-style reward that aligns employees’ interests with shareholders by encouraging them to boost long-term value; investors watch these plans because they affect pay costs, share dilution and management incentives.
Named Executive Officers financial
"payout of the Company’s common stock to each of the Company’s Named Executive Officers listed below"
Named executive officers are the senior company leaders whose names, roles and compensation are singled out in required regulatory filings; this typically includes the chief executive, chief financial officer and the next highest‑paid senior officers. Investors treat this list like a team roster — it shows who makes key decisions, how they are paid and whether incentives align with shareholder interests, so changes or pay patterns can signal governance quality, risk or strategic shifts.
