restricted stock units ("RSUs") financial
"Represents award of restricted stock units ("RSUs") that will vest 25% annually"
Restricted stock units (RSUs) are a company promise to give an employee shares of stock (or cash equivalent) in the future, but only after certain conditions—usually staying with the company for a set time or hitting performance goals—are met. Investors watch RSUs because when they vest they increase the number of shares outstanding and can lead insiders to sell shares, affecting share price, company dilution and the true cost of employee pay.
performance share financial
"Each performance share represents the right to receive up to 200% of one share"
A performance share is a grant of company stock given to employees or executives that is earned only if the business meets specified performance goals over a set period, similar to receiving a bonus that pays out in shares instead of cash. For investors, performance shares matter because they reveal how management is being rewarded and motivated, can create future share dilution when paid, and link executive pay directly to results that affect shareholder value.
