Key Terms

3 terms

restricted stock units financial

"upon vesting of restricted stock units"

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.

vesting financial

"acquisition of common stock upon vesting"

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.

award agreement technical

"pursuant to the terms of the award agreement"

An award agreement is a legal contract that spells out the terms of a pay or equity grant—such as stock options, restricted shares, or cash bonuses—given to an employee, director or consultant. It describes what is being granted, any conditions for keeping it (for example, earning it over time or meeting performance targets), and what happens if the person leaves or breaks rules. Investors care because these agreements affect company costs, potential share dilution and how executives are motivated and rewarded.
