Key Terms

3 terms

restricted stock units ("RSUs") financial

"Reflects a grant of restricted stock units ("RSUs") which vest in three"

Restricted stock units (RSUs) are a company promise to give an employee shares of stock (or cash equivalent) in the future, but only after certain conditions—usually staying with the company for a set time or hitting performance goals—are met. Investors watch RSUs because when they vest they increase the number of shares outstanding and can lead insiders to sell shares, affecting share price, company dilution and the true cost of employee pay.

contingent right financial

"Each RSU represents a contingent right to receive one share"

par value financial

"one share of common stock, $0.01 par value per share"

Par value is the fixed amount printed on a bond or stock that represents its original value when issued. It’s like the face value of a coin or bill—what the issuer promises to pay back or the starting price of a stock—though it often doesn’t change with market prices. It matters because it helps determine certain financial details, like how much the company will pay back at maturity.
