Restricted Stock Units ("RSUs") financial
"Award of Restricted Stock Units ("RSUs") under the Company's 2023 Incentive Plan."
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.

vesting conditions financial
"shares of common stock underlying RSUs granted to the Reporting Person, which are subject to certain vesting conditions."
Vesting conditions are the rules that determine when someone earning company stock or stock options actually gains the right to keep or sell them, typically based on staying with the company for a set time or meeting performance targets. Think of it like keys that unlock gradually — some unlock by calendar date, others only after agreed milestones. Investors care because vesting shapes management incentives, the timing of share sales, and the number of shares that can enter the market, which can affect a company's valuation and ownership mix.
