(Disclaimer:I'm not a current employee, and I don't remember how it is supposed to work but,) check out the docs on the ERC pages about RSUs, I think it goes through it there. If I recall precisely, it's actually _performance bonus_ RSUs that are subject to this, not the RSUs from the regular grants. EDIT: thinking more specifically, here's what I recall (I browsed the doc as an intern last summer): I believe that performance bonuses (which vest over a year?) are given a cash-value target in addition to a fixed # of RSUs to be granted. If, at the end of the year, the value of the RSUs (at time of grant) are less than the cash-value target, additional stock units are added to cover the difference. This is the hazy memory of an intern, so, take it fwiw.
