A vest is the process by which an employee earns the right to receive certain benefits or ownership interests, such as stock or retirement funds, over time. It’s similar to earning a reward gradually, ensuring that the benefit becomes fully yours only after a set period or meeting specific conditions. This makes it important for investors because it determines when they can actually claim or use those benefits.

"The GSUs will vest as follows: 25% of the GSUs will vest on each March 25, 2026"
continued employment financial
"subject to continued employment on such vesting date(s)"
Continued employment means that an individual remains in their current job without interruption. For investors, it signals stability and ongoing work that can affect company performance and future prospects. Like a steady heartbeat for a business, sustained employment helps ensure consistent operations and financial health.
