"will vest either on the one-year anniversary of grant date or the date"

The grant date is the day a company formally gives an employee or contractor the right to receive stock-based compensation, such as stock options or restricted shares. It matters to investors because it fixes key terms—like the price, the start of the ownership clock, and when the award will affect the company’s financial statements and share count—so it can influence dilution, reported expenses, and potential future selling pressure.
