Albertsons (NYSE: ACI) director receives 114 dividend equivalent units

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Stone West Mary E reported acquisition or exercise transactions in this Form 4 filing.

Albertsons Companies director Mary E. Stone received a small equity-based award tied to the company’s dividend. On 2026-05-08, she was granted 114 Dividend Equivalent Units at $0.00 per unit. These units mirror the company’s quarterly cash dividend of $0.17 per share on unvested restricted stock units.

After this grant, she holds 10,848 Dividend Equivalent Units directly, reflecting a routine compensation adjustment rather than an open‑market stock purchase or sale.

Dividend Equivalent Units financial

"Dividend Equivalent Units credited to the reporting person's account as dividend equivalents on unvested RSUs"

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.

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.

quarterly dividend equivalent financial

"The reported number is the quarterly dividend equivalent of $0.17 per share of common stock."

Class A common stock financial

"underlying_security_title: 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.
