Restricted Stock Units financial
"Each restricted stock unit ("RSU") represents a contingent right"
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.
contingent right financial
"represents a contingent right to receive one share of SONY"
accelerated vesting financial
"The grant is subject to forfeiture and accelerated vesting in accordance"
A contract feature that makes stock awards, options, or restricted shares become owned or exercisable earlier than the original schedule. It shortens or cancels the waiting period so recipients can sell, transfer, or exercise their equity sooner — think of a timed lock that is unlocked ahead of schedule. It matters to investors because it changes when shares enter the market, who controls them, and how much dilution or ownership concentration happens.
