Restricted Stock Units financial

"Represents restricted stock units that vest in three equal annual installments beginning December 31, 2026."

Restricted stock units are a type of company reward where employees are promised shares of stock, but they only fully own these shares after meeting certain conditions, like staying with the company for a set time. They matter because they can become valuable assets and are often used to motivate employees to help the company succeed.

For investors, holding common stock means sharing in the company’s profits and risks.
