Insights

Chief Legal Officer received time- and performance-based stock unit awards.

Chief Legal Officer James P. Shaughnessy was granted two tranches of 24,777 performance stock units (PSUs) and one tranche of 49,555 restricted stock units (RSUs), each convertible into common shares if vesting conditions are met. These are compensation awards, not open-market purchases or sales.

Performance Stock Units financial
"Each performance stock unit ("PSU") represents a contingent right to receive one share"

They motivate employees to work toward specific company achievements, aligning their interests with those of shareholders. For investors, they can influence a company's future stock supply and reflect management’s confidence in reaching key targets.
