Key Terms

4 terms

restricted stock units ("RSUs") financial

"The reported securities represent time-based restricted stock units ("RSUs") that were granted to the reporting person"

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.

vest financial

"that will vest upon the earlier of May 13, 2027, or the next annual shareowners meeting"

A vest is the process by which an employee earns the right to receive certain benefits or ownership interests, such as stock or retirement funds, over time. It’s similar to earning a reward gradually, ensuring that the benefit becomes fully yours only after a set period or meeting specific conditions. This makes it important for investors because it determines when they can actually claim or use those benefits.

defer settlement financial

"The reporting person has elected to defer settlement of vested RSUs until the first to occur of May 13, 2032"

performance year financial

"granted to the reporting person for service as a director for the 2026-2027 performance year"
