Karyopharm Therapeutics Inc., a notable pharmaceutical company based in Newton, Massachusetts, has revealed the allocation of restricted stock units (RSUs) to new team members. On May 31, 2024, the company granted 9,500 RSUs to three new employees as part of the Company's 2022 Inducement Stock Incentive Plan. This move is designed to entice new hires in line with Nasdaq's regulations.

Moreover, an impressive award of 200,000 RSUs was given to Dr. Michael Method, the Senior Vice President of Clinical Development. These stock units follow a vesting schedule over three years, with one-third of the shares vesting annually on the anniversary of the grant date.
