performance-based restricted stock units financial
"Reflects the earning and vesting of certain performance-based restricted stock units ("PSUs"), including accrued dividend equivalents"
Performance-based restricted stock units are a type of employee equity award that converts into company shares only if predefined financial or operational targets are met over a set period. Think of it like a bonus check that becomes stock only when specific goals are hit; it ties pay to results, aligning managers’ incentives with shareholders. Investors care because these awards affect future share count, executive incentives, and signal how management’s success will be measured and rewarded.
dividend equivalents financial
"Reflects the earning and vesting of certain performance-based restricted stock units ("PSUs"), including accrued dividend equivalents"
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.
restricted stock units financial
"Each restricted stock unit represents a contingent right to receive one share of Fulton Financial Corporation 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.
cliff-vest financial
"The restricted stock units cliff-vest three years from the grant date."
Equity and Cash Incentive Compensation Plan financial
"Restricted stock unit award granted May 1, 2026, under the Fulton Financial Corporation 2022 Amended and Restated Equity and Cash Incentive Compensation Plan."
