Vesting is the process by which you earn full ownership of something, like company stock or a retirement benefit, over time. It’s like earning the right to keep a gift piece by piece the longer you stay with a company, making sure employees stay committed before they receive all the benefits.
continued service financial
"subject to continued service on such vesting dates"
grant date financial
"1/48 of GSUs vests on the 25th day of each month following the grant date..."
The grant date is the day a company formally gives an employee or contractor the right to receive stock-based compensation, such as stock options or restricted shares. It matters to investors because it fixes key terms—like the price, the start of the ownership clock, and when the award will affect the company’s financial statements and share count—so it can influence dilution, reported expenses, and potential future selling pressure.
