restricted stock unit financial
"The original grant on 05/10/2025 was for 3,000 restricted stock units."
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.
Exercise or conversion of derivative security financial
"transaction_code_description: Exercise or conversion of derivative security"
vest financial
"the units vest and convert into shares of common stock at a rate of 1/3 on the first anniversary"
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 in the event of termination of the directorship"

AI-generated questions and answers. How Rhea-AI works. Not financial advice.
What insider transaction did Viasat (VSAT) director William LaPlante report?
Director William Albert LaPlante reported acquiring 1,000 shares of Viasat common stock. The shares came from the vesting and conversion of restricted stock units on 05/10/2026, reflecting routine equity compensation rather than an open-market purchase or sale.
How many restricted stock units were originally granted to the Viasat (VSAT) director?
The original grant to the director was 3,000 restricted stock units on 05/10/2025. These units constitute equity-based compensation and are designed to vest over time, aligning the director’s interests with long-term shareholder value and continued service on Viasat’s board.
What is the vesting schedule for the Viasat (VSAT) director’s restricted stock units?
The 3,000 restricted stock units vest in three equal installments. One-third vests on the first anniversary of the 05/10/2025 grant, another third on the second anniversary, and the final third on the third anniversary, assuming continued service as a Viasat director throughout.
What happens to the Viasat (VSAT) restricted stock units if the director leaves the board?
Unvested restricted stock units are subject to forfeiture if the directorship ends. This means any units that have not yet vested when the director’s service terminates will be lost, reinforcing retention incentives and linking compensation to ongoing board service at Viasat.
Did the Viasat (VSAT) director make any open-market stock purchases or sales?
The reported transactions did not involve open-market buying or selling. Instead, they reflect the exercise and conversion of 1,000 restricted stock units into common shares, a standard compensation-related event that increases the director’s direct share ownership in Viasat.
