Will My Unvested RSUs Receive Dividends (if My Company Pays Them)

ReferenceIntermediate1 min readBy Kris Barney

It depends (though its uncommon). Unvested RSUs are not stock that you own, and thus are entitled to dividend payments. That said, some companies that offer RSUs and pay dividends have corporate policies that provide cash bonus payments on unvested RSUs to approximate what a dividend payment would have been.
