Key Terms

Restricted Stock Units, conversion rate, contingent right

3 terms

Restricted Stock Units financial

"Includes 6,916 Common Shares that are represented by RSUs granted on April 1, 2026"

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.

conversion rate financial

"For purposes of this Form 4, a conversion rate of BRL 5.1711 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"
