stock units financial
"The shares indicated constitute units that settle solely in the common stock of American Water Works Company, Inc."
Stock units are individual pieces of ownership in a company, like slices of a pie that together make up the whole business. They matter to investors because each unit represents a claim on the company’s assets, profits and sometimes voting power, and changes in the number or value of these units affect ownership percentages, potential dividends and share dilution — all of which influence an investment’s worth.

Section 16 regulatory
"which acquisition is exempt from Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended"
Section 16 is a U.S. securities law rule that governs the trading and disclosure obligations of company insiders — typically officers, directors and large shareholders — to promote transparency and deter unfair profit-taking. It requires insiders to publicly report their stock trades and allows companies or the issuer to reclaim quick, short-term profits from certain insider trades, like a scoreboard and a refund policy that help investors see and limit possible insider advantage.
