Stock Equivalent Units financial

"Director fees credited to a stock equivalent unit account under a grantor trust"

Stock equivalent units are financial claims or instruments that are treated as if they were actual shares for purposes like calculating ownership, dilution, and earnings per share. Think of them as promises or placeholders for future slices of company pie—options, restricted units, or convertible securities—that don’t yet sit on the table but will reduce each existing slice when converted. Investors track them because they change how much of a company each share really represents and can affect valuation and voting power.

grantor trust financial

"under a grantor trust established by the director and paid, in cash"

A grantor trust is a legal arrangement where the person who puts assets into the trust keeps enough control or rights that, for tax and legal purposes, those assets are treated as still belonging to that person. For investors, that matters because income, gains and losses generated by the trust typically flow through to the grantor (or directly to investors) for tax reporting and distributions, affecting after-tax returns and cash flow predictability — think of it like a mailbox that forwards all the mail back to the sender rather than holding it inside.

dividend reinvestment feature financial

"Balance includes stock equivalent units acquired pursuant to a dividend reinvestment feature"
