Key Terms

restricted stock units, performance stock units, grant date fair value

3 terms

restricted stock units financial

"grant of restricted stock units (RSUs)"

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.

performance stock units financial

"performance stock units (PSUs)"

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.

grant date fair value financial

"grant date fair value of 290% of Total Salary"

The grant date fair value is the estimated dollar worth of a stock-based award (such as stock options or restricted shares) at the exact moment it is given to an employee or contractor. Investors care because companies use that value to record compensation expenses and to show how much potential ownership and earnings dilution those awards could create—think of it as the price tag placed on a gift card when it is handed over so the company can report the cost now.
