"Grant of 22,182 restricted share units (RSUs). Each RSU represents a contingent right to receive one ordinary share"
Restricted share units (RSUs) are a form of employee pay where a company promises to give shares (or their cash value) to workers after certain conditions, usually time or performance, are met. For investors, RSUs matter because they can increase the number of shares outstanding and signal how management is being paid and incentivized—think of them as delayed bonuses that convert into ownership when vesting conditions are satisfied.
phantom stock units financial
"Each phantom stock unit represents the right to receive, on a 1-for-1 basis, the value of one ordinary share"
Phantom stock units are company promises that pay a cash or stock-equivalent award tied to the firm’s share price or value growth, but they do not issue actual shares. Think of them as a bonus check that moves with the stock like a mirror rather than handing over an ownership slice. Investors care because these awards can affect a company’s future cash obligations, executive incentives and reported expenses without causing share dilution.
