"Grant of fully vested common stock of CATY."

dividend reinvestment financial

"Includes 67.381 shares acquired through dividend reinvestment year-to-date."

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.
