"Represents shares of common stock underlying restricted stock units ("RSUs") granted pursuant to the Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd. 2008 Equity 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.
Equity Incentive Plan financial
"RSUs granted pursuant to the Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd. 2008 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended"
An equity incentive plan is a program that gives employees, executives or directors the right to receive company stock or options to buy stock as part of their pay. Think of it as offering slices of future company profit to motivate people to boost long‑term performance; for investors it matters because it can align employee goals with shareholder value but also increases the number of shares outstanding, which can dilute existing ownership.
beneficial ownership financial
"The reporting person disclaims beneficial ownership of these shares, except to the extent of his pecuniary interest therein"
Beneficial ownership means the person or entity that actually enjoys the benefits of owning shares or other assets — such as receiving dividends, voting rights, or price gains — even if the legal title is held in another name. For investors it matters because knowing who truly controls and profits from a company reveals who can influence decisions, exposes potential conflicts of interest or hidden concentration of power, and affects transparency and risk in the stock.
pecuniary interest financial
"disclaims beneficial ownership of these shares, except to the extent of his pecuniary interest therein"
indirect ownership financial
"This includes 12,400,651 shares of RCL stock owned by AWILHELMSEN AS and 4,035,259 shares of RCL stock owned by AWILHELMSEN ASSET MANAGEMENT AS"
