A performance-based restricted stock unit award is a promise to give company shares to an employee or executive only if the business hits specific targets over a set period. Think of it as a conditional prize that vests like a savings plan: if agreed goals (such as revenue, profit, or stock performance) are met, the recipient receives the shares; if not, they get nothing. Investors pay attention because these awards align management incentives with company results and can affect share count, future earnings and executive behavior.

Performance restricted stock units (PRSUs) are promises to deliver company shares to employees or executives only if the business meets specific performance targets and any time-based holding rules. Think of them as a bonus that converts into stock only after set goals are reached, so investors watch PRSUs for two reasons: they can dilute existing shares if paid out, and they signal how closely management’s pay is tied to company performance.
