time-based 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."
Time-based restricted stock are company shares granted to employees or executives that become fully owned and transferable only after the recipient stays with the company for specified time periods. Think of it like receiving a wrapped gift that opens a little each year; the gradual unlocking helps keep employees motivated and tied to long-term performance. Investors watch these grants because they can dilute existing shares when they vest and signal how management is being rewarded and incentivized.
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, granted under Issuer's Riley Exploration Permian, Inc. Second Amended and Restated 2021 Long Term Incentive Plan."
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.
