Restricted Stock Units financial

"Comprised of a restricted stock units award granted under Cadre Holdings, Inc.'s 2021 Stock Incentive Plan"

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.

Stock Option financial

"The option to purchase shares of the Issuer's Common Stock was granted under the Plan"

A stock option is a contract that gives you the right to buy or sell a company's stock at a specific price within a certain time frame. People use them to potentially make money if the stock's price moves favorably or to protect against losses. It's like holding a coupon that can be used to buy or sell stock at a set price later on.
