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.

Employee Stock Option (right to buy) financial

"Security title reported as Employee Stock Option (right to buy) with 25,538 options"

performance shares financial

"Each performance share represents the right to receive up to 200% of one share"

Performance shares are a type of company stock given to executives or employees that only become theirs if the company meets specific goals, like hitting certain profits or growth targets. They motivate leaders to work toward the company’s success, because their additional shares depend on achieving these results.

relative total shareholder return ("TSR") financial

"Earned shares are based on the issuer's relative total shareholder return ("TSR")"
