restricted stock units ("RSUs") financial

"vesting of restricted stock units ("RSUs")"

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.

"satisfy tax withholding obligation"

fractional ordinary shares financial

"No fractional ordinary shares are issued"

A fractional ordinary share is a portion of a single common share, like owning a slice of a pizza rather than the whole pie. It gives an investor proportionate economic rights — such as a share of dividends and price gains or losses — allowing smaller-dollar purchases and easier diversification, though practical rights like voting or transferability can depend on the broker or platform handling the fraction.
