In short, you get an email saying to accept what they gave you. It will direct you to a Fidelity website where you’ll need to login (create user and password if you don’t already have it). There you’ll have prompts to read and accept some grants. After that you basically wait a year. The stocks they give you are restricted and a year from now you’ll gain access to 50% of the value. And then 50% of the remaining value the year after, and then the remainder the year after that. But all that only happens as long as you remain employed. Basically they aren’t worth anything to you until you’ve had them for a whole year. They give it to you as incentive to remain with the company. If you quit you lose any stocks that hadn’t “matured yet” but you get to keep whatever had matured already. So, if you quit a year from now you’ll get to keep the 50% that matured next year but you’ll lose the other 50% that hadn’t yet. I don’t know how much you got but it’s probably a couple hundred bucks. Not a fortune, but it’s still free money. It’s also supposed to be incentive for you to help the company prosper since now you own a small chunk of the company so if the company profits you’ll see your stocks grow. They also keep giving you new stocks every year that will go through this same cycle. So next year two things will happen: your stocks from this year will become 50% available to you, and you’ll also get a new set of restricted stocks.
