Restricted Stock Units (RSUs) financial
"upon the vesting of a previously granted award of Restricted Stock Units (RSUs)"
Restricted stock units (RSUs) are a type of company promise to give employees shares of stock in the future, usually after certain conditions like working for a set time. They are like a gift promised today that you receive later, which can become valuable if the company's stock price goes up. RSUs matter because they are a way companies reward employees and can be a significant part of compensation.
tax liability financial
"shares were sold solely to cover the associated tax liability upon the vesting"
