Context
- RSUs: a contingent right to receive one share per unit when vested—no immediate sale or cash proceeds at grant. PSUs: number of shares actually earned can be higher or lower than the target depending on Microchip’s cumulative non‑GAAP operating margin over the measurement period.
- Grants like these are common components of executive compensation and reflect time- and performance-based incentives rather than an immediate bullish or bearish personal market move.
