performance-based stock awards financial

"As reported in this amendment, 471 performance-based stock awards vested and 152 shares were withheld for taxes."

time based restricted common stock financial

"This amount includes 155 shares of time based restricted common stock solely owned by Ms. Vieney and 425.0580 shares solely owned by Ms. Vieney."

restricted stock units financial

"Each restricted stock unit represents a contingent right to receive one share of PFIS common stock."

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.

tax-withholding disposition financial

"Payment of exercise price or tax liability by delivering securities"

A tax-withholding disposition is an event or transaction—such as selling or transferring securities, exercising options, or receiving compensation—that triggers a requirement to hold back part of the payment and remit it to tax authorities. It matters to investors because it reduces the cash they receive immediately and can change the timing and amount of taxable income, like a cashier taking a portion of your sale proceeds to pay taxes before you get the rest.

contingent right financial

"Each restricted stock unit represents a contingent right to receive one share of PFIS common stock."
