Restricted Stock Units financial

"Restricted Stock Units | Novanta, Inc."

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.

Equity Compensation financial

"02/26/2017 | Equity Compensation"

Equity compensation is pay given to employees, executives or contractors in the form of company ownership—such as stock, stock options or restricted shares—rather than just cash. It matters to investors because it can align workers' incentives with shareholders (like paying someone in slices of the same pie they help grow), but it also increases the number of shares outstanding and company expenses, affecting ownership percentages and earnings per share.
