Each restricted stock unit ("RSU") represents a contingent right to receive one share of the Issuer's common stock; vested RSUs are payable in the form of cash, shares of the Issuer's common stock or a combination thereof, except as otherwise indicated below.

Dividend equivalent rights accrue with respect to unvested RSUs in the form of additional RSUs ("Dividend Units") when and as dividends are paid on the Issuer's common stock, and Dividend Units vest on the same dates and in the same relative proportions as the RSUs on which they accrue.

Restricted Stock Units financial
"Each restricted stock unit ("RSU") represents a contingent right to receive one share of the Issuer's common stock"
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.
Dividend Units financial
"Dividend equivalent rights accrue with respect to unvested RSUs in the form of additional RSUs ("Dividend Units")"
Nonqualified Stock Option (right to buy) financial
"Nonqualified Stock Option (right to buy) ... exercise price $44.8700 and $47.4500"
dividend equivalent rights financial
"Dividend equivalent rights accrue with respect to unvested RSUs in the form of additional RSUs"
Dividend equivalent rights are promises that mirror the cash payments shareholders get from a company’s profits, but they are paid to holders of certain awards (like stock options or restricted stock units) rather than to actual shares. Think of them as a paycheck top‑up that matches dividends while the award is not yet a real stock, and they matter to investors because they add to employee compensation costs and potential share dilution, affecting company profitability and per‑share value.
vesting financial
"The RSUs vest in four equal annual installments beginning on April 9, 2027"
Vesting is the process by which you earn full ownership of something, like company stock or a retirement benefit, over time. It’s like earning the right to keep a gift piece by piece the longer you stay with a company, making sure employees stay committed before they receive all the benefits.
