"The restricted stock vests and becomes exercisable on the date of Company's 2027 Annual Meeting."
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.
restricted stock units financial
"The restricted stock units vest and convert to common stock on May 27, 2029."
Restricted stock units are a type of company reward where employees are promised shares of stock, but they only fully own these shares after meeting certain conditions, like staying with the company for a set time. They matter because they can become valuable assets and are often used to motivate employees to help the company succeed.

FAQ

What did RGR director Phillip Widman receive in this Form 4 filing?

Phillip Widman received new equity awards in Sturm Ruger common stock. He was granted 1,778 shares of restricted stock and 1,641 restricted stock units as compensation, with both awards subject to future vesting before fully becoming regular common shares.

How many Sturm Ruger (RGR) restricted shares were granted to the director?

The filing shows a grant of 1,778 shares of restricted common stock to director Phillip Widman. These shares are subject to vesting conditions and are not yet fully unrestricted, aligning his compensation more closely with long‑term shareholder interests over several years.

When do Phillip Widman’s restricted Sturm Ruger shares vest?

According to the footnote, the restricted stock vests on the date of Sturm Ruger’s 2027 Annual Meeting. Until that meeting, the shares remain subject to vesting conditions and are designed to encourage ongoing service on the company’s board of directors.

What are the terms of the 1,641 restricted stock units reported for RGR?

The Form 4 states that 1,641 restricted stock units vest and convert to common stock on May 27, 2029. Restricted stock units are a promise of future shares, so Widman will receive the underlying common stock only when that vesting date is reached.

Did the Sturm Ruger director buy or sell shares on the open market?

The transactions are coded as “A” for grant or award, with a transaction price of $0.00 per share. This indicates compensation‑related equity awards rather than open‑market purchases or sales, so there were no market trades reported in this particular Form 4.

How many Sturm Ruger shares does Phillip Widman hold after these awards?

The filing shows 12,099 shares of common stock following one transaction line and 10,321 shares following the other. These figures reflect updated direct holdings reported for the separate restricted stock and restricted stock unit award entries in the Form 4.
