restricted stock unit financial
"The restricted stock unit was granted to Sean Pak a Director of Viasat, Inc."
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.
bona fide gift financial
"Bona fide gift"
A bona fide gift is a genuine, voluntary transfer of money, property, or benefits from one party to another made without expectation of repayment, services, or hidden conditions. Investors care because such gifts can affect company disclosures, related‑party transaction rules, tax treatment, and perceived conflicts of interest; think of it like someone giving you a present with no strings attached — but on a corporate scale, auditors and regulators need to verify it really is unconditional.
Non-Employee Director financial
"subject to the Non-Employee Director continuing in service on the Board"
