restricted stock financial
"Represents shares of time-based restricted stock granted under the Issuer's Riley Exploration Permian, Inc. Second Amended and Restated 2021 Long Term Incentive Plan."
Shares granted to an individual that carry limits on transfer or sale until certain conditions are met, such as staying with the company for a set time or hitting performance targets. Think of them as a locked gift that gradually opens; for investors they matter because they affect how many shares may enter the market later, signal management incentives and potential dilution, and reveal confidence in future company performance.
performance-based restricted stock award financial
"Represents the maximum payout opportunity under a performance-based restricted stock award (the "Award"), equal to 200% of the target award."
relative total shareholder return financial
"based on the Issuer's relative total shareholder return performance as compared to the Issuer's peer group during the performance period"
Relative total shareholder return measures how much an investor’s gain from a company — including stock price changes and dividends — beats or lags a chosen benchmark or peer group over a set time. Think of it as a race: it shows whether the company outpaced rivals or the market, which helps investors and boards judge performance, compare returns fairly, and link results to pay or investment decisions.
cliff vests financial
"Subject to continued service and the achievement of specified performance criteria, the Award cliff vests on April 1, 2029"
peer group financial
"based on the Issuer's relative total shareholder return performance as compared to the Issuer's peer group during the performance period"
