Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Graphic Packaging Holding Company executive Daniel S. Fishbein received two grants of service-based restricted stock units (RSUs) tied to the company’s common stock. One grant covers 188,502 RSUs, representing one-third of a larger award that also includes performance-based RSUs reportable upon settlement.

These 188,502 service-based RSUs vest and become payable in three substantially equal tranches on the first, second and third anniversaries of the grant date, subject to exceptions for events such as death, disability, retirement, involuntary termination or termination after a change in control. A separate grant of 40,214 service-based RSUs vests in substantially equal tranches on the first and second anniversaries of the grant date under similar conditions.

The RSUs have no exercise price and will be settled in shares of common stock upon vesting, reflecting compensation-related equity awards rather than open-market purchases.

Service-Based Restricted Stock Units financial
"The grant of Service-Based Restricted Stock Units is 1/3 of a total grant..."
Service-based restricted stock units are promises by a company to give employees shares of stock only after they remain employed for a specified period; the stock is delivered gradually or all at once once the service condition is met. Investors care because these awards affect future share supply and company costs, align employee interests with long-term performance, and can influence dilution and earnings reports when the promised shares are recorded or issued.
Performance-Based Restricted Stock Units financial
"that also includes Performance-Based Restricted Stock Units, which are reportable upon settlement."
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.
change in control financial
"except in the event of death, disability, retirement, involuntary termination or termination after a change in control."
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.
