Restricted Stock Units financial
"security_title: "Restricted Stock Units" and footnote describing each RSU"
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.

"Each restricted stock unit ("RSU") represents a contingent right to receive one share"
vest financial
"The RSUs vest on August 1, 2029. The grant is subject to forfeiture"
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.
