Dividend Equivalent Units financial
"reported multiple grants of Dividend Equivalent Units on unvested awards"
Dividend equivalent units are bookkeeping credits that mirror cash dividends paid on actual shares, granted to holders of stock-based awards such as restricted stock units or deferred compensation. They matter to investors because they increase a company’s reported employee compensation cost and can lead to issuance of more shares or cash payouts over time, similar to extra pay linked to ownership that affects shareholder dilution and corporate cash flow.
Performance Based Restricted stock units ("PBRSUs") financial
"Performance Based Restricted stock units ("PBRSUs") credited to the reporting person's account"
Restricted stock units ("RSUs") financial
"Restricted stock units ("RSUs") credited to the reporting person's account as dividend equivalents"
Restricted stock units (RSUs) are a company promise to give an employee shares of stock (or cash equivalent) in the future, but only after certain conditions—usually staying with the company for a set time or hitting performance goals—are met. Investors watch RSUs because when they vest they increase the number of shares outstanding and can lead insiders to sell shares, affecting share price, company dilution and the true cost of employee pay.
transaction code "A" regulatory
"each entry uses transaction code "A" for a grant, award or acquisition"
Class A common stock financial
"underlying security title is Class A common stock, par value $0.01"
Class A common stock is a category of a company’s shares that carries a specific set of ownership rights—most commonly defined voting power and claims on dividends—set out in the company’s charter. For investors it matters because the class determines how much influence you have over corporate decisions, the share’s likely dividend and trading behavior, and how it compares in value to other share classes, like choosing a particular seat with different privileges at the company’s decision-making table.

The largest single grant was 1,321 Dividend Equivalent Units. After this transaction, the related award reflected a total of 125,797 units following the transaction, showing incremental stock-based compensation added to an existing performance-based award rather than a new open-market share purchase.

What do the Dividend Equivalent Units mean for Albertsons Companies (ACI) stock awards?

The transactions are routine stock-based compensation, not open-market purchases. All entries use transaction code “A” for grants or awards and are described as dividend equivalents on PBRSUs and RSUs, vesting and settling with existing equity awards rather than reflecting discretionary buying or selling of ACI shares.
