Restricted Stock Units financial
"The Restricted Stock Units (2023 Conditional Award under the Ryanair Holdings PLC 2019 LTIP) convert into common stock on a one-for-one basis."
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.
