4 terms

restricted stock units (RSUs) financial

"the Reporting Person was granted 6,974 restricted stock units (RSUs). Each RSU represents a contingent right"

Restricted stock units (RSUs) are a type of company promise to give employees shares of stock in the future, usually after certain conditions like working for a set time. They are like a gift promised today that you receive later, which can become valuable if the company's stock price goes up. RSUs matter because they are a way companies reward employees and can be a significant part of compensation.

vest financial

"The RSUs are scheduled to vest on the earlier of (i) the first anniversary"

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.

annual meeting financial

"or (ii) the date of the next annual meeting of Smurfit Westrock plc's stockholders"

A company's annual meeting is a yearly gathering where owners (shareholders) and the board review performance, ask questions, and vote on key matters like electing directors, approving auditor choices, and sometimes setting pay or dividend policies. For investors it matters because decisions made and votes cast can change who runs the company, influence strategy and payouts, and affect the value or direction of their investment—similar to a homeowners’ meeting where rules and leaders that shape your property’s value are decided.

tax withholding obligation financial

"withheld to satisfy the Reporting Person's tax withholding obligation upon vesting and settlement of RSUs"
