Deferred Stock financial

"Represents deferred stock units ("Deferred Stock") granted pursuant to dividend equivalent rights"

dividend equivalent rights financial

"Deferred Stock granted pursuant to dividend equivalent rights on Deferred Stock previously granted"

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.
