RSU financial
"Represents shares of common stock underlying an RSU award."
Restricted stock units (RSUs) are a form of company shares given to employees as part of their compensation, usually with certain restrictions or conditions, such as remaining with the company for a set period. When these restrictions lift, employees receive actual shares that they can sell or hold. For investors, RSUs can impact a company's stock supply and reflect the company's commitment to attracting and retaining talent.
vesting financial
"The RSU vests in four (4) equal annual installments with the first annual vest taking place on June 4, 2027"
Vesting is the process by which you earn full ownership of something, like company stock or a retirement benefit, over time. It’s like earning the right to keep a gift piece by piece the longer you stay with a company, making sure employees stay committed before they receive all the benefits.
First Permissible Trading Day financial
"Vested shares will be delivered on the First Permissible Trading Day that occurs on or after the day when the RSUs vest."
