share units technical

"Each share unit has the economic equivalent of one share"

dividend equivalent rights financial

"accrued on previously awarded share units"

Dividend equivalent rights are promises that mirror the cash payments shareholders get from a company’s profits, but they are paid to holders of certain awards (like stock options or restricted stock units) rather than to actual shares. Think of them as a paycheck top‑up that matches dividends while the award is not yet a real stock, and they matter to investors because they add to employee compensation costs and potential share dilution, affecting company profitability and per‑share value.

special dividend financial

"acquired pursuant to a special dividend"

A special dividend is a one-time payment made by a company to its shareholders, usually when it has accumulated excess profits or cash. It is like a bonus or a reward for investors, often signaling that the company has extra funds available. This type of dividend matters because it can indicate a company's financial health or a significant change in its cash situation.
