Restricted Stock Units financial
"Each restricted stock unit represents a contingent right to receive one share"
Restricted stock units are a type of company reward where employees are promised shares of stock, but they only fully own these shares after meeting certain conditions, like staying with the company for a set time. They matter because they can become valuable assets and are often used to motivate employees to help the company succeed.
Performance Restricted Stock Units financial
"Vests in full or in part on 8/15/2028 if certain performance goals"
Performance restricted stock units (PRSUs) are promises to deliver company shares to employees or executives only if the business meets specific performance targets and any time-based holding rules. Think of them as a bonus that converts into stock only after set goals are reached, so investors watch PRSUs for two reasons: they can dilute existing shares if paid out, and they signal how closely management’s pay is tied to company performance.
Stock Option (right to buy) financial
