RSUs financial

"Includes 10,464 Common Shares that are represented by RSUs granted on April 1, 2026, and RSUs previously granted, in 2024 and 2025."

RSUs, or restricted stock units, are a form of company shares given to employees as part of their compensation. They are typically awarded with certain restrictions, such as a waiting period before they can be fully owned or sold, similar to earning a gift that becomes fully yours over time. For investors, RSUs can impact a company's stock offerings and reflect how much the company relies on stock-based incentives to attract and retain talent.

conversion rate financial

"For purposes of this Form 4, a conversion rate of BRL 4.9581 for each USD 1.00 was used."

Conversion rate is the proportion of items, people or contracts that take a desired action out of the total possible — for example the share of website visitors who make a purchase, or the number of convertible bonds that are exchanged for shares. Investors care because it measures how effectively a business or financial instrument turns opportunity into real outcomes, like sales or share issuance, which directly affects revenue, cash flow and ownership dilution.

contingent right financial

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