performance share units financial

"Shares issued in settlement of performance share units granted in 2023 which vested upon the achievement of the performance condition."

Performance share units are a type of company stock award given to employees that depend on the company meeting specific goals or targets. If these goals are achieved, the employee receives shares or the value of shares; if not, they may receive little or no compensation. This aligns employees’ interests with the company's success and encourages performance that benefits investors.

restricted stock unit financial

"Restricted stock unit award, granted on April 1, 2026, which will vest with respect to 1/3 of the shares subject thereto on each of the first, second and third anniversaries of the date of grant."

A restricted stock unit is a promise from a company to give an employee shares of stock after certain conditions are met, like staying with the company for a set amount of time. It’s like earning a bonus that turns into company stock once you’ve proven your commitment, making it a way to motivate and reward employees.

tax liabilities financial

"Represents shares withheld by the Issuer for payment of tax liabilities incident to the vesting of performance share unit, restricted stock unit, and restricted stock awards."
