Restricted Stock Unit financial
"The shares of Common Stock were acquired upon the vesting of certain restricted stock units"
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.
vesting financial
"All of the Restricted Stock Units vest on the first anniversary of the date of grant"
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.
continuous service financial
"subject, in each case, to the reporting person's continuous service with the corporation"
attendance requirements financial
