Restricted Stock Units financial
"Upon vesting, the Reporting Person is entitled to receive one share of common stock for each restricted stock unit."
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.
Performance Stock Units (PSUs) financial
"Represents shares of common stock issued to the Reporting Person upon vesting of Performance Stock Units (PSUs) granted on April 11, 2023."
Performance stock units (PSUs) are a form of executive or employee pay that promise company shares only if pre-set performance goals are met over a defined period; think of them as a bonus paid in stock that arrives only when the company hits agreed targets. Investors watch PSUs because they affect the number of shares outstanding (dilution) and reveal how management’s pay is tied to financial or operational results, aligning incentives with shareholder outcomes.
tax obligations financial
"These shares were automatically withheld and returned to JetBlue to cover tax obligations upon RSU and PSU vesting."
vesting financial
"The restricted stock units vest in equal annual installments over a three year period."
Vesting is the process by which you earn full ownership of something, like company stock or a retirement benefit, over time. It’s like earning the right to keep a gift piece by piece the longer you stay with a company, making sure employees stay committed before they receive all the benefits.
