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."

derivative security financial
"transaction_code_description: Exercise or conversion of derivative security"
A derivative security is a financial contract whose value comes from the price or performance of something else, such as a stock, bond, commodity, or market index. For investors it acts like an insurance policy or a wager: it can be used to protect against losses, lock in prices, or amplify gains and losses, so it can change a portfolio’s risk and potential return without owning the underlying asset directly.
