performance-based restricted stock units financial
"award of performance-based restricted stock units granted to the Reporting Person"
Performance-based restricted stock units are a type of employee equity award that converts into company shares only if predefined financial or operational targets are met over a set period. Think of it like a bonus check that becomes stock only when specific goals are hit; it ties pay to results, aligning managers’ incentives with shareholders. Investors care because these awards affect future share count, executive incentives, and signal how management’s success will be measured and rewarded.
PSUs financial
"performance-based restricted stock units granted to the Reporting Person ("PSUs")"
PSUs are company shares promised to employees or executives that only become actual stock if the business hits specific performance targets over a set period. For investors, PSUs matter because they link pay to measurable outcomes — similar to a conditional bonus that converts into ownership — which can influence management decisions, dilution of shares, and signals about confidence in future results.
