Restricted Stock Units financial

"Each restricted stock unit represents a vested right to receive one share of GPC common stock at a future date."

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.

change in control financial

"convert to shares of GPC common stock on the fifth anniversary of the grant date, or earlier upon a change in control of GPC"

A "change in control" occurs when the ownership or management of a company shifts significantly, such as through a merger, acquisition, or sale of a large part of its assets. This change can impact how the company is run and may influence its future direction. For investors, it matters because it can affect the company's stability, strategy, and value, often signaling potential changes in investment risk or opportunity.

non-employee directors financial

"The RSUs represent the annual RSU grant made to non-employee directors on May 1, 2026."
