Matthew J. Hawkins received 257,096 restricted stock units (RSUs). The award is a stock-based compensation grant of Waystar common stock that vests over time, aligning the CEO’s interests with shareholders through long-term equity rather than an immediate cash payment.

How do the 257,096 Waystar RSUs granted to the CEO vest?

The 257,096 RSUs vest in four equal annual installments. Vesting occurs from the initial grant date through March 1, 2030. This schedule means Hawkins earns portions of the award over several years, encouraging continued leadership and long-term performance at Waystar.

What does each restricted stock unit granted by Waystar to the CEO represent?

Yes, the reported total includes unvested RSUs. The filing notes that Hawkins’ 974,570 beneficially owned shares include restricted stock units that have not yet vested, reflecting both currently owned stock and contingent future equity tied to service and time.
