Escrow agreements generally involve an independent third party, called an escrow agent, who holds an asset of value until the specified conditions of the contract are met.
Escrow means that the shares are held by a third party until certain conditions have been met to reduce counterparty risk in a transaction. Companies will also issue stock in escrow, imposing limitations on when the shares can be sold, as part of an employee's compensation plan.
Between the grant date and vesting date, the shares are held in escrow. Upon the vesting date, the shares are released to the employee. The reason companies hold their stock in escrow is that it provides an extra incentive for the employees to remain with the company for the long term.
