After the reported grant, Joseph B. Burton holds a total of 110,686.6900 Restricted Stock Units. These RSUs represent deferred rights to receive ACCO common shares in the future, rather than current stock ownership, under the company’s director compensation and deferral arrangements.

The RSUs either vest immediately or on the one-year anniversary of the grant date, as specified in ACCO’s plans. However, shares of common stock are only delivered upon the earlier of Burton’s death or disability, or when he ceases serving on the Board of Directors.
