MD Stock Compensation's Value

A proportion of MD's compensation is in stock, but is this just common stock with a lockup period? If that's the case, couldn't an MD's bonus increase in value over five years, as the stock price increases?

I'm not even currently working in Finance- I was just interested to know.
