Restricted Stock Units financial
"Each restricted stock unit ("RSU") represents the right to receive one share"
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.
cash dividends financial
"granted in lieu of the right to receive the amount of cash dividends"
volume-weighted average price financial
"dividing the amount of the dividend by the 30-trading day trailing volume-weighted average price"
Volume-weighted average price (VWAP) is the average price of a stock over a specific time period where each trade is weighted by the number of shares traded, so larger trades influence the average more than small ones. Investors and traders use VWAP as a reference point to judge whether trades are happening at relatively good or poor prices—like checking the average price paid for an item at a market where bulk purchases count more than single-item buys.
