Restricted Stock Units financial

"Each Restricted Stock Unit (RSU) represents a contingent right to receive one share"

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.

contingent right financial

"represents a contingent right to receive one share of the Issuers Common Stock"

Grant Date financial

"one-year anniversary of the Grant Date and (ii) the date of the next annual meeting"

The grant date is the day a company formally gives an employee or contractor the right to receive stock-based compensation, such as stock options or restricted shares. It matters to investors because it fixes key terms—like the price, the start of the ownership clock, and when the award will affect the company’s financial statements and share count—so it can influence dilution, reported expenses, and potential future selling pressure.

vesting date financial

"subject to continued service through the applicable vesting date; provided, that, the RSUs"
