Restricted Share Unit financial
"Consists of a grant of RSUs awarded to the Reporting Person under the Seagate Technology Holdings plc 2022 Equity Incentive Plan"
A restricted share unit (RSU) is a promise by a company to give an employee a set number of company shares at a future date, typically after meeting time or performance conditions. For investors, RSUs matter because when they convert into actual shares they increase the number of shares outstanding (like unlocking more tickets in a game), which can dilute existing holders, and they align employee incentives with company performance, influencing behavior and long-term value.
2022 Equity Incentive Plan financial
"RSUs awarded to the Reporting Person under the Seagate Technology Holdings plc 2022 Equity Incentive Plan"
vesting period financial
"the remaining portion vested in equal quarterly installments over the following three years for a total vesting period of four years"
A vesting period is the set amount of time someone must wait before they fully own granted shares, stock options, or other equity tied to their work or an agreement; ownership increases gradually or in steps during that time. Investors care because vesting determines when insiders or employees can sell shares, which affects future supply of stock, company incentives and executive retention—think of it like unlocking ownership over installments rather than receiving it all at once.
