Restricted stock units financial

"Restricted stock units granted under the terms of the 2026 Equity Incentive Plan."

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.

2026 Equity Incentive Plan financial

"Restricted stock units granted under the terms of the 2026 Equity Incentive Plan."

vested financial

"Stock units become vested as follows: 1/3 on May 27, 2027, 1/3 on May 26, 2028, and 1/3 on May 25, 2029."

Settlement financial

"Settlement of units is deferred until separation from Board."

Settlement is the process of completing a financial transaction, like buying or selling a stock, by transferring money and ownership between parties. It ensures that both the buyer gets the asset and the seller gets paid, making the deal official. Without settlement, the transaction wouldn't be finalized or legally recognized.

separation from Board financial
