    reported as part of shareholders' equity if payable in shares rather than cash

    Explanation:

    • Restricted stock units (RSUs) are a form of stock-based employee compensation.

    • RSUs are restricted during a vesting period that may last several years, during which time they cannot be sold. Once vested, the RSUs are just like any other shares of company stock.

    • Unlike stock options or warrants which may expire worthless, RSUs will always have some value based on the underlying shares.

    • For tax purposes the entire value of vested RSUs must be included as ordinary income in the year of vesting.
