Deferred stock units financial
"Includes 52,408 deferred stock units of which 278 were acquired by the reporting person"
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.
Dividend Reinvestment and Direct Stock Purchase Plan financial
"through reinvestment of dividends under Chesapeake Utilities Corporation's Dividend Reinvestment and Direct Stock Purchase Plan"
A dividend reinvestment and direct stock purchase plan is a company program that automatically uses your cash dividends to buy additional shares and lets you buy shares directly from the company without a broker. Like setting a portion of your paycheck to repeatedly buy more of something you trust, it makes investing automatic, often with lower fees or small discounts, helping small investors compound returns and smooth out purchase prices over time.
dividend reinvestment plan financial
"through reinvestment of dividends pursuant to a dividend reinvestment plan"
A dividend reinvestment plan lets shareholders automatically use cash dividends to buy more shares of the same company instead of receiving the money. It matters to investors because it turns regular payouts into a steady way to grow ownership and take advantage of compound returns—like having your savings automatically buy additional slices of a pie over time—while often reducing transaction costs and smoothing purchase timing.
401k Plan financial
"the reporting person acquired under the 401k Plan via an employer supplemental contribution"
A 401(k) plan is an employer-sponsored retirement savings account that lets workers set aside part of their paycheck into investments, often with tax breaks and sometimes with matching contributions from the employer. Think of it as a workplace piggy bank that grows through employee contributions, optional company top-ups, and market returns; it matters to investors because it shapes household retirement security, drives large flows of money into public markets, and affects a company’s compensation costs and ability to attract and keep talent.
