- Includes 9,991 shares of Issuer's Common Stock inadvertently omitted from the reporting person's Form 3 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 18, 2026. Restricted Stock Units Award ("RSUs") represent a contingent right to receive one share of the Issuer's common stock per RSU. RSUs have associated dividend equivalent rights ("DERs") that vest and become payable in shares of the Issuer's common stock proportionately with the RSUs to which they relate. Upon vesting of RSUs, the number of shares issuable under the associated DERs becomes calculable, based on the quotient of the accrued dividends with respect to the vested RSUs, divided by the common stock's fair market value on such vesting date (or in the event dividends are declared, but not yet paid to stockholders as of a vesting date, on the date of payment to stockholders). These RSUs vest in full on the date shown, subject to the reporting person's continued service to the Issuer through the vesting date. Includes 319 shares payable under associated dividend equivalent rights that became calculable upon vesting of the RSUs.

Key Terms

4 terms
Restricted Stock Units Award ("RSUs") financial
"Restricted Stock Units Award ("RSUs") represent a contingent right to receive"
dividend equivalent rights financial
"RSUs have associated dividend equivalent rights ("DERs") that vest and become payable"
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.
vesting date financial
"These RSUs vest in full on the date shown, subject to the reporting person's continued service"
Form 3 regulatory
"omitted from the reporting person's Form 3 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission"
Form 3 is the initial public filing that officers, directors and large shareholders must submit to report their ownership of a company’s securities when they become insiders. It acts like an opening inventory sheet that gives investors a starting point to see who holds significant stakes and to spot later trades or potential conflicts of interest, helping assess insider confidence and transparency.
