performance-based restricted stock unit award financial

"acquired upon settlement of a performance-based restricted stock unit award previously granted"

A performance-based restricted stock unit award is a promise to give company shares to an employee or executive only if the business hits specific targets over a set period. Think of it as a conditional prize that vests like a savings plan: if agreed goals (such as revenue, profit, or stock performance) are met, the recipient receives the shares; if not, they get nothing. Investors pay attention because these awards align management incentives with company results and can affect share count, future earnings and executive behavior.
