PSUs financial
"The Issuer certified the achievement of the performance criterion, and the PSUs fully vested"
PSUs are company shares promised to employees or executives that only become actual stock if the business hits specific performance targets over a set period. For investors, PSUs matter because they link pay to measurable outcomes — similar to a conditional bonus that converts into ownership — which can influence management decisions, dilution of shares, and signals about confidence in future results.
