Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Albertsons Companies executive Michael Withers received multiple grants of dividend equivalent units tied to existing equity awards. These awards, all coded as acquisitions, credited small amounts of dividend equivalent units on performance-based and time-based restricted stock units, reflecting the quarterly cash dividend of $0.17 per share of Class A common stock.

The units carry a zero exercise price and will vest and settle on the same schedule as the underlying PBRSUs and RSUs, so there were no open-market purchases or sales. Following these grants, various award series show updated balances, such as 75,525 and 47,845 dividend equivalent units held directly.

Dividend Equivalent Units financial
"Dividend Equivalent Units credited to the reporting person's account"
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.
