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.

settlement financial

"Each RSU represents a contingent right to receive one Common Share of Vale S.A. upon settlement."

Settlement is the process of completing a financial transaction, like buying or selling a stock, by transferring money and ownership between parties. It ensures that both the buyer gets the asset and the seller gets paid, making the deal official. Without settlement, the transaction wouldn't be finalized or legally recognized.
