restricted stock units ("RSUs") financial
"Grant of restricted stock units ("RSUs") that vests in full on the earlier"
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.
Stock Option (Right to Buy) financial
"security_title": "Stock Option (Right to Buy)","
exercise price financial
"conversion_or_exercise_price": "2.0700""
The exercise price is the fixed amount at which you can buy or sell an asset, like a stock, when using an options contract. It matters because it helps determine whether exercising the option will be profitable or not, depending on the current market price. Think of it as the set price you agree on today to buy or sell later.
Grant Date financial
"the first anniversary of the Grant Date, or (ii) the day immediately"
The grant date is the day a company formally gives an employee or contractor the right to receive stock-based compensation, such as stock options or restricted shares. It matters to investors because it fixes key terms—like the price, the start of the ownership clock, and when the award will affect the company’s financial statements and share count—so it can influence dilution, reported expenses, and potential future selling pressure.
