Deferred Stock Units financial

"Reported as Deferred Stock Units ("DSUs"). The DSUs are fully vested and convert into shares of common stock on a one-for-one basis"

Deferred stock units are promises from a company to give an employee shares of stock at a future date, often after certain conditions are met or after leaving the company. They function like a form of delayed compensation, allowing employees to earn shares over time. For investors, they represent potential future ownership in the company, but do not provide immediate voting rights or dividends until the shares are actually received.

Deferred Compensation Plan financial

"fees that have been deferred by the Reporting Person under the Issuer's Deferred Compensation Plan ("DCP")"

A deferred compensation plan is an arrangement where an employer agrees to pay part of an employee’s pay or bonus at a later date instead of immediately, often to reduce current tax bills or to tie rewards to long-term performance. For investors it matters because these promises create future cash obligations and influence executive incentives and retention; they can affect a company’s reported liabilities, cash flow planning and the risk profile if the business faces financial trouble.

deferral period financial

"convert into shares of common stock on a one-for-one basis, or at the election of the Issuer into cash, following the deferral period as defined in the DCP"

fully vested financial
