Restricted stock financial

"Restricted stock grant for participation on KVH's board of directors"

Shares granted to an individual that carry limits on transfer or sale until certain conditions are met, such as staying with the company for a set time or hitting performance targets. Think of them as a locked gift that gradually opens; for investors they matter because they affect how many shares may enter the market later, signal management incentives and potential dilution, and reveal confidence in future company performance.

amended and restated 2016 Equity & Incentive Plan financial

"issued pursuant to the terms & conditions of KVH Industries' amended"

vesting financial

"Restricted stock will vest in four installments on each of 11/20/2026"

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.
