4 terms

restricted stock unit financial

"Each restricted stock unit 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.

vest financial

"The restricted stock units will vest and convert into shares of common stock"

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.

forfeiture financial

"Until vested, the restricted stock unit shall be subject to forfeiture"

Non-Employee Director financial

"subject to the Non-Employee Director continuing in service on the Board"
