restricted stock units ("RSUs") financial
"The Reporting Person was granted restricted stock units ("RSUs"), each of which represents a contingent right to receive one share"
Restricted stock units (RSUs) are a company promise to give an employee shares of stock (or cash equivalent) in the future, but only after certain conditions—usually staying with the company for a set time or hitting performance goals—are met. Investors watch RSUs because when they vest they increase the number of shares outstanding and can lead insiders to sell shares, affecting share price, company dilution and the true cost of employee pay.
ordinary stock financial
"each of which represents a contingent right to receive one share of ordinary stock of Tower Semiconductor Ltd."
beneficial ownership financial
"The Reporting Person was granted restricted stock units ("RSUs"), each of which represents a contingent right to receive one share"
Beneficial ownership means the person or entity that actually enjoys the benefits of owning shares or other assets — such as receiving dividends, voting rights, or price gains — even if the legal title is held in another name. For investors it matters because knowing who truly controls and profits from a company reveals who can influence decisions, exposes potential conflicts of interest or hidden concentration of power, and affects transparency and risk in the stock.

"will vest on 07/31/2027 subject to the Reporting Persons continued service through each vesting date."
