restricted stock unit financial

"Vesting of restricted stock unit awards | STARZ ENTERTAINMENT CORP"

A restricted stock unit is a promise from a company to give an employee shares of stock after certain conditions are met, like staying with the company for a set amount of time. It’s like earning a bonus that turns into company stock once you’ve proven your commitment, making it a way to motivate and reward employees.

performance share unit financial

"Vesting of performance share unit awards | STARZ ENTERTAINMENT CORP"

A performance share unit (PSU) is a form of executive or employee pay that promises shares (or the cash value of shares) only if the company meets specific performance targets over a set period. Think of it like a bonus cheque that only arrives if the company hits agreed goals — it aligns managers’ rewards with business results and signals to investors how leadership is being incentivized to grow value over time.
