performance RSUs financial
"Represents common shares issued upon the vesting of performance RSUs granted pursuant to the terms of an employment agreement."
Performance RSUs are promises to deliver company shares to executives or employees only if the business meets preset goals such as revenue, profit, stock price, or operational targets. They matter to investors because they align management pay with measurable company results and can affect the number of shares outstanding and future earnings per share once the shares are issued. Think of them as a bonus paid in stock that only arrives if the team hits the agreed milestones.
