Restricted Stock Units financial
"Common Stock - Restricted Stock Units"
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.
tax-withholding disposition financial
"transaction_action": "tax-withholding disposition""
A tax-withholding disposition is an event or transaction—such as selling or transferring securities, exercising options, or receiving compensation—that triggers a requirement to hold back part of the payment and remit it to tax authorities. It matters to investors because it reduces the cash they receive immediately and can change the timing and amount of taxable income, like a cashier taking a portion of your sale proceeds to pay taxes before you get the rest.
Inducement Equity Incentive Plan financial
"under the Harte Hanks, Inc. 2023 Inducement Equity Incentive Plan."
An inducement equity incentive plan is a program that grants employees or executives company shares or stock options to motivate and reward their work, often as a way to attract new talent. It aligns their interests with the company's success, encouraging them to contribute to long-term growth. For investors, such plans can influence a company's stock performance and overall financial health by motivating key personnel.
NQ stock options financial
"The participant was granted 32,400 NQ stock options on June 2, 2025"
nonqualified stock options financial
"32,300 NQ stock options on January 29, 2024"
A nonqualified stock option is a company-issued right that lets an employee or contractor buy shares later at a preset price, like a coupon to purchase stock regardless of the market price. It matters to investors because when the option is used the recipient owes ordinary-income tax on the difference between market and preset price, which affects the holder’s financial decisions and can change the company’s share count and reported expenses.
