Meta grants senior executives stock awards to retain talent

Meta granted restricted stock units and stock options to senior executives, including CFO Susan Li and CTO Andrew Bosworth, tied to performance and aggressive share-price targets to retain top talent. The awards signal management focus on long-term retention and performance alignment but are largely internal compensation actions with limited near-term market impact. Potential dilution and high hurdles could incentivize executive focus on stock performance over the performance period.
