Restricted Share Unit financial
"Each Restricted Share Unit (RSU) represents a contingent right to receive one Class A Ordinary Share of the Issuer."
A restricted share unit (RSU) is a promise by a company to give an employee a set number of company shares at a future date, typically after meeting time or performance conditions. For investors, RSUs matter because when they convert into actual shares they increase the number of shares outstanding (like unlocking more tickets in a game), which can dilute existing holders, and they align employee incentives with company performance, influencing behavior and long-term value.
