Restricted share units financial
"Restricted share units are time and performance-based grants of common shares"
Restricted share units (RSUs) are a promise from a company to give an employee or service provider actual shares or cash equal to the shares after certain conditions are met, typically staying with the company for a set time or hitting performance targets. Think of them like a time-locked gift card that becomes usable only after you’ve earned it. For investors, RSUs matter because they align employee incentives with company performance and can increase the number of shares outstanding over time, diluting existing ownership and affecting earnings per share.
Share-Based Compensation Plan financial
"made pursuant to the Issuer's Share-Based Compensation Plan, as described"
performance-based vesting criteria financial
"The RSUs that are subject to performance-based vesting criteria expire"
Form 10-K/A regulatory
"described in the Issuer's Annual Report on Form 10-K/A filed"
A Form 10-K/A is an amended version of a company’s annual report filed with regulators to correct, clarify or add information after the original annual report was submitted. Think of it like a revised chapter in a book that fixes errors or includes new details; investors pay attention because the changes can alter the company’s financial picture, risks or legal disclosures and therefore may affect investment decisions.
vest financial
"30% of the RSUs vest on each of the three anniversaries"
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.

FAQ

What did VFF CEO Michael DeGiglio report in this Form 4 filing?

Michael DeGiglio reported exercising 51,968 restricted share units into common shares and a related tax withholding of 12,654 shares. These transactions reflect share-based compensation activity rather than an open-market purchase or sale of Village Farms International, Inc. stock.

How many Village Farms (VFF) shares does the CEO hold after these transactions?

After the reported transactions, CEO Michael DeGiglio directly holds 9,622,441 common shares of Village Farms International, Inc. He also holds 121,257 restricted share units, which may convert into additional common shares as they vest over time under the company’s compensation plan.

Were the VFF CEO’s reported share dispositions open-market sales?

No, the reported disposition involved 12,654 shares withheld at $2.84 per share to satisfy tax obligations. This is a tax-withholding mechanism tied to the restricted share unit exercise, not an open-market sale initiated to trade Village Farms International, Inc. shares.

How do the Village Farms (VFF) CEO’s RSUs vest over time?

The restricted share units vest 30% on each of the first three anniversaries of the initial grant date. The remaining 10% vest on December 31, 2027 if Village Farms’ common share price exceeds $3.00; otherwise, those performance-based RSUs expire on January 1, 2028.

What performance condition applies to some of the VFF restricted share units?
