Deferred Stock Units financial
"Represents 4,461 Deferred Stock Units issued to the Reporting Person by Clearway Energy, Inc."
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 equivalent rights financial
"Represents dividend equivalent rights accrued on the Reporting Person's Deferred Stock Units, which become exercisable proportionately"
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.
Amended and Restated 2013 Equity Incentive Plan financial
"under Clearway Energy, Inc.'s Amended and Restated 2013 Equity Incentive Plan."
Class C Common Stock financial
"Each Deferred Stock Unit is equivalent in value to one share of Clearway Energy, Inc.'s Class C Common Stock"
A class C common stock is a type of company share that usually represents ownership but often carries limited or no voting power compared with other share classes. For investors, that matters because it can affect influence over company decisions and sometimes the stock’s price or dividend priority — think of it as owning a ticket to the same event but in a section with less say in how the event is run.
