Restricted Stock Units financial
"The Restricted Stock Units ("RSUs") convert into Class A Common Stock on a one-for-one basis upon vesting and settlement."
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.
Grantor Retained Annuity Trust financial
"The Jonathan S. Vassil Grantor Retained Annuity Trust #1"
A grantor retained annuity trust (GRAT) is an estate-planning tool where the person who creates the trust transfers assets into it but receives fixed cash payments (an annuity) from the trust for a set number of years; whatever remains after that term passes to designated beneficiaries. It matters to investors because it can shift future appreciation of assets out of the creator’s taxable estate—like putting an asset into a timed vending machine that pays you fixed amounts while any extra value that grows inside the machine goes to heirs with reduced gift or estate tax consequences.
