Context These grants represent compensation tied to performance targets and long-term vesting rather than an immediate market purchase or sale. Awards like this are common for executives and give the executive a stake in the company’s future performance; because the shares carry voting and dividend rights even before vesting, O'Malley can influence shareholder matters and receive dividends on these shares while they vest.
