Restricted Stock Units financial
"The Restricted Stock Units ("RSUs") granted on 04/28/2023 vest 25% on each"
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.
accrued dividends financial
"534 RSUs, that included accrued dividends, vested on 04/28/2026"
Accrued dividends are payments a company owes to shareholders that have been earned or officially declared but not yet paid; think of them as an IOU the company has for past dividend obligations. They matter to investors because they represent a near-term claim on a company’s cash, affect the company’s reported liabilities and value, and can be especially important when assessing income reliability or priority in a payout situation.
tax liability financial
"Represents shares of common stock to satisfy the tax liability of the Reporting Person"
fair market value financial
"The fair market value of the exchanged shares was $208.15 per share"
The price a willing buyer and a willing seller would agree on for an asset or security when neither is under pressure and both have access to the same information. Think of it as the market’s neutral estimate of what something is worth, like the price two neighbors would settle on for a car after comparing similar listings. Investors care because fair market value guides buying and selling decisions, tax reporting, portfolio valuation, and how accurately company assets are reflected in financial statements.
closing price financial
"the closing price of Republic Services, Inc.'s common stock on 04/28/2026"
