restricted stock units ("RSUs") financial
"The Issuer granted restricted stock units ("RSUs") (40%) and performance restricted stock units ("PSUs") (60%) to the Reporting Person."
Restricted stock units (RSUs) are a company promise to give an employee shares of stock (or cash equivalent) in the future, but only after certain conditions—usually staying with the company for a set time or hitting performance goals—are met. Investors watch RSUs because when they vest they increase the number of shares outstanding and can lead insiders to sell shares, affecting share price, company dilution and the true cost of employee pay.

"The Issuer granted restricted stock units ("RSUs") (40%) and performance restricted stock units ("PSUs") (60%) to the Reporting Person."
total shareholder return ("TSR") financial
"The RSUs are eligible to vest based on the Issuer's total shareholder return ("TSR") relative to certain indexed companies"
performance milestones financial
"The RSUs vest each quarter and the PSUs vest upon achievement of certain performance milestones"
performance period financial
"during a performance period beginning on January 1, 2026 and ending on December 31, 2028"
The performance period is the specific time span over which an investment’s results, an employee’s targets, or a fund’s returns are measured and judged. It matters to investors because the length and start/end of that window determine which gains or losses count toward performance fees, bonus payouts, or benchmark comparisons—much like timing a race decides who wins, the chosen period can change whether results look strong or weak.
