restricted stock unit financial
"Each restricted stock unit ("RSU") represents a contingent right to receive one share"
A restricted stock unit is a promise from a company to give an employee shares of stock after certain conditions are met, like staying with the company for a set amount of time. It’s like earning a bonus that turns into company stock once you’ve proven your commitment, making it a way to motivate and reward employees.
performance based RSUs financial
"The performance based RSUs shall vest in three stages"
exercise price financial
"conversion or exercise price: 1.3100"
The exercise price is the fixed amount at which you can buy or sell an asset, like a stock, when using an options contract. It matters because it helps determine whether exercising the option will be profitable or not, depending on the current market price. Think of it as the set price you agree on today to buy or sell later.
market condition financial
"when the market condition is first achieved"
