"with a grant date fair value of $1,250,000"

The grant date fair value is the estimated dollar worth of a stock-based award (such as stock options or restricted shares) at the exact moment it is given to an employee or contractor. Investors care because companies use that value to record compensation expenses and to show how much potential ownership and earnings dilution those awards could create—think of it as the price tag placed on a gift card when it is handed over so the company can report the cost now.
