Restricted Stock Units financial
"Each restricted stock unit represents a contingent right to receive one share"
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.
Stock Option (right to buy) financial
"The stock options were granted with respect to service to be provided"
vesting financial
"The total number of restricted stock units will fully vest on June 30, 2027"
