Performance Based Restricted Stock Unit Clause Samples
A Performance Based Restricted Stock Unit (RSU) clause defines the terms under which an employee or service provider is granted company shares that vest only if specific performance goals are met. Typically, these RSUs are awarded as part of an incentive plan, and the vesting is contingent on achieving measurable targets such as revenue milestones, profitability, or individual performance metrics within a set timeframe. This clause ensures that equity compensation is directly tied to performance, motivating recipients to meet or exceed objectives and aligning their interests with those of the company.
