Restricted Stock Units financial
"Reflects the 2026 annual grant of Restricted Stock Units which vest 100% on 5/27/2027."
Restricted stock units are a type of company reward where employees are promised shares of stock, but they only fully own these shares after meeting certain conditions, like staying with the company for a set time. They matter because they can become valuable assets and are often used to motivate employees to help the company succeed.
Deferred Compensation Plan financial
"until retirement from the Board of Directors, pursuant to the terms of the Issuer's Deferred Compensation Plan."
A deferred compensation plan is an arrangement where an employer agrees to pay part of an employee’s pay or bonus at a later date instead of immediately, often to reduce current tax bills or to tie rewards to long-term performance. For investors it matters because these promises create future cash obligations and influence executive incentives and retention; they can affect a company’s reported liabilities, cash flow planning and the risk profile if the business faces financial trouble.
