Performance Stock Unit financial
"Represents performance-based Restricted Stock Units (RSUs) that have vested and settled"
A performance stock unit is a type of reward companies give to employees, usually managers, that depends on how well the company performs over time. If the company hits specific goals, the employee earns shares of stock, like earning a prize for reaching certain levels in a game. It motivates employees to work hard because their rewards are tied to the company's success.
Restricted Stock Unit financial
"Time-based restricted stock unit award granted under the 2025 Long-Term Incentive Plan"
A restricted stock unit is a promise from a company to give an employee shares of stock after certain conditions are met, like staying with the company for a set amount of time. It’s like earning a bonus that turns into company stock once you’ve proven your commitment, making it a way to motivate and reward employees.
Long-Term Incentive Plan financial
"Award granted under the 2020 Long-Term Incentive Plan"
A long-term incentive plan is a company program that pays executives or employees with stock, options, or cash tied to multi-year performance goals, where the rewards become theirs only after meeting conditions over time. Think of it as a delayed bonus or retirement-style reward that aligns employees’ interests with shareholders by encouraging them to boost long-term value; investors watch these plans because they affect pay costs, share dilution and management incentives.
tax-withholding disposition financial
"Payment of exercise price or tax liability by delivering securities"
A tax-withholding disposition is an event or transaction—such as selling or transferring securities, exercising options, or receiving compensation—that triggers a requirement to hold back part of the payment and remit it to tax authorities. It matters to investors because it reduces the cash they receive immediately and can change the timing and amount of taxable income, like a cashier taking a portion of your sale proceeds to pay taxes before you get the rest.
Company Thrift Plan financial
"Trustee of Company Thrift Plan"
