- The number of performance-based restricted stock units that we refer to as Performance Stock Units (PSUs) that vested was determined based on pre-established performance metrics, as approved by the Company's Compensation Committee, over the first fiscal year of a three-fiscal-year performance period beginning with fiscal year 2026 and ending at the conclusion of fiscal year 2028. A payout percentage was determined based on the level of performance achieved and then multiplied by the annual baseline allocation of PSUs for this tranche. Mr. Thomas's annual baseline allocation of PSUs was 1,490, and the payout percentage for fiscal year 2026 was 72.5%. Therefore, 1,080 shares of common stock vested, and the Company withheld sufficient shares for payment of required tax obligations. No shares were sold; these shares were withheld to satisfy tax withholding requirements.

Performance Stock Units (PSUs) financial
"The number of performance-based restricted stock units that we refer to as Performance Stock Units (PSUs) that vested was determined..."
Performance stock units (PSUs) are a form of executive or employee pay that promise company shares only if pre-set performance goals are met over a defined period; think of them as a bonus paid in stock that arrives only when the company hits agreed targets. Investors watch PSUs because they affect the number of shares outstanding (dilution) and reveal how management’s pay is tied to financial or operational results, aligning incentives with shareholder outcomes.
performance-based restricted stock units financial
"The number of performance-based restricted stock units that we refer to as Performance Stock Units (PSUs) that vested was determined..."
Performance-based restricted stock units are a type of employee equity award that converts into company shares only if predefined financial or operational targets are met over a set period. Think of it like a bonus check that becomes stock only when specific goals are hit; it ties pay to results, aligning managers’ incentives with shareholders. Investors care because these awards affect future share count, executive incentives, and signal how management’s success will be measured and rewarded.
Compensation Committee financial
"as approved by the Company's Compensation Committee, over the first fiscal year of a three-fiscal-year performance period..."
A compensation committee is a group within a company's leadership responsible for setting and reviewing how much top executives and employees are paid, including salaries, bonuses, and benefits. It matters to investors because fair and effective pay decisions can influence a company's performance, leadership motivation, and overall governance, helping ensure that the company’s management is aligned with shareholders’ interests.
payout percentage financial
"A payout percentage was determined based on the level of performance achieved and then multiplied by the annual baseline allocation..."
