deferred stock units financial
"750.4 deferred stock units under the Plan credited as a quarterly grant"
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.
quarterly cash retainer fees financial
"credited in lieu of all or a portion of the reporting person's quarterly cash retainer fees for Board services"
stock units financial
"The total also includes additional stock units credited to the reporting person in respect of dividends"
Stock units are individual pieces of ownership in a company, like slices of a pie that together make up the whole business. They matter to investors because each unit represents a claim on the company’s assets, profits and sometimes voting power, and changes in the number or value of these units affect ownership percentages, potential dividends and share dilution — all of which influence an investment’s worth.
