Context
These are performance-based derivative units awarded by Rithm Capital Management LLC and are not an open-market purchase. They become convertible to common stock only after vesting and after a sufficient amount of profits has been allocated to the holder; until conversion, they function as contingent equity rights rather than immediately tradeable shares.
