restricted stock units ("RSUs") financial
"Represents a grant of restricted stock units ("RSUs"). Each RSU represents a right to receive one share..."
Restricted stock units (RSUs) are a company promise to give an employee shares of stock (or cash equivalent) in the future, but only after certain conditions—usually staying with the company for a set time or hitting performance goals—are met. Investors watch RSUs because when they vest they increase the number of shares outstanding and can lead insiders to sell shares, affecting share price, company dilution and the true cost of employee pay.
dividend equivalents financial
"The RSUs vest... and shall accrue dividend equivalents when a dividend is paid on shares of FedEx common stock."
Payments tied to employee or contractor equity awards that mirror the cash dividends paid on the company’s stock; they give the holder the same economic benefit as owning the shares without transferring actual shares—often paid in cash or additional award units when the award becomes payable. Investors care because these payments affect a company’s compensation costs, cash flow and potential share dilution, and they signal how management is being rewarded and aligned with shareholders.

vest ratably financial
"These options vest ratably over three years from the date of grant..."
exercise price financial
"conversion_or_exercise_price": "323.6200""
The exercise price is the fixed amount at which you can buy or sell an asset, like a stock, when using an options contract. It matters because it helps determine whether exercising the option will be profitable or not, depending on the current market price. Think of it as the set price you agree on today to buy or sell later.
