Performance share units ... are similar to restricted share units, in that they are notional shares, have a value equivalent to a class of the company's shares (typically common shares) and are subject to a vesting period, which is typically no more than three years. However, unlike restricted share units, the number of performance share units that will ultimately vest adjusts based on the executive's and/or the company's performance as measured against pre-determined targets. For any units to vest, the executive or company, as applicable, must meet a minimum performance level. 2, record 1, English, - performance%20share%20unit

Les unités d'actions liées au rendement [...] sont des actions théoriques comme les unités d'actions incessibles[.

Le dirigeant ou la société, selon le cas, doit atteindre un niveau de rendement minimal pour que les droits aux unités soient acquis. 3, record 1, French, - unit%C3%A9%20d%27action%20li%C3%A9e%20au%20rendement

Une polysulfone domine largement les autres : [...] d'où le nom de polyéthers sulfones quelquefois donné à ces composés. La préparation la plus courante consiste à polycondenser le bisphénolate de sodium avec la p,p'-dichlorodiphénylsulfone. Les polysulfones sont des thermoplastiques possédant de très bonnes propriétés mécaniques (ténacité, rigidité, tenue au fluage), encore améliorées par additions de charges (fibres de verre ou de carbone), et peuvent être employées en continu entre -70 et 180 °C. Leurs résistances au choc, au feu, leurs propriétés électriques sont très bonnes. Elles ont une bonne résistance chimique, mais se dissolvent dans un certain nombre de solvants polaires. Les polysulfones sont mises en forme par injection et par extrusion. Les plaques peuvent être usinées, soudées, décorées, métallisées sous vide. 5, record 7, French, - polysulfone
