restricted stock given some under RSU-time and VA-time. The RSU was cancelled and I believe reissued under VA-time. Question is why did it reissue for more?

I think this is your question:

“I was originally granted restricted stock under RSU-time, but that award was later canceled and (I believe) reissued under VA-time. Why did the new award show a higher number of shares?”

A few possibilities:

1. Stock Price Adjustment: If the company’s stock price dropped between the original grant and the reissue, you may have received more shares to match the same dollar value. (For example, $10,000 worth of stock at $50/share = 200 shares; if price drops to $25/share, you’d get 400 shares.)

2. Compensation Reset: The reissue might’ve been part of a new or updated compensation agreement—especially if roles, location (e.g. VA-time), or company policies changed.

3. Performance or Retention Incentive: Sometimes reissued RSUs come with enhanced terms to retain talent during transitions or restructures.

4. Administrative Correction or Error: It could also be a plan-level correction or system issue. These things happen—especially if it wasn’t clearly communicated.

Next Step:

Your HR or equity admin team should be able to confirm the details. Ask for a breakdown of the original vs. reissued grant values and any relevant grant documentation.
