restricted stock units ("RSUs") financial

"arising out of the 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.

Ordinary Share financial

"The fractional amount shown reflects the computational result of RSU vesting"

An ordinary share is a unit of ownership in a company that gives the holder a stake in its profits and usually the right to vote on key decisions. Think of it like a slice of a pizza where each slice entitles you to a portion of what’s left after bills are paid; value can rise or fall with the business and may pay dividends, so it matters to investors for income, growth and control.
