performance stock units financial

"Represents performance stock units"

Performance stock units are a type of company award that grants employees shares of stock only if certain performance goals are met. They motivate employees to work toward specific company achievements, aligning their interests with those of shareholders. For investors, they can influence a company's future stock supply and reflect management’s confidence in reaching key targets.

time-based vesting financial

"remain subject to time-based vesting"

Time-based vesting is a schedule that gives employees or contractors ownership of granted stock or options gradually as they remain with a company, like unlocking rewards in a loyalty program the longer you stick around. For investors, it matters because it affects future share supply, management incentives and staff retention — all of which can influence company performance and dilution of existing shareholders.
