Performance Restricted Stock Units financial
"Represents shares acquired pursuant to the vesting of Performance Restricted Stock Units that were granted..."
Performance restricted stock units (PRSUs) are promises to deliver company shares to employees or executives only if the business meets specific performance targets and any time-based holding rules. Think of them as a bonus that converts into stock only after set goals are reached, so investors watch PRSUs for two reasons: they can dilute existing shares if paid out, and they signal how closely management’s pay is tied to company performance.
dividend reinvestment financial
"Includes shares acquired pursuant to dividend reinvestment."
Dividend reinvestment is when the money earned from a company's profit sharing, called dividends, is automatically used to buy more shares of that company instead of being received as cash. This process helps investors grow their holdings over time without extra effort, much like using earned interest to buy more of a savings account. It encourages long-term investment growth by continuously increasing the amount of shares owned.
Restricted Stock Units financial
"Represents shares earned under the 2022 Annual Incentive Award pursuant to Restricted Stock Units..."
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.
Performance Stock Options financial
"Represents the vesting of Performance Stock Options that were granted to the reporting person in February 2023..."
positive cumulative net income financial
"Represents shares earned under the 2022 Annual Incentive Award upon the Company's positive cumulative net income..."
