Performance Stock Unit financial

"Each performance stock unit ("PSU") represents a contingent right to receive one share..."

A performance stock unit is a type of reward companies give to employees, usually managers, that depends on how well the company performs over time. If the company hits specific goals, the employee earns shares of stock, like earning a prize for reaching certain levels in a game. It motivates employees to work hard because their rewards are tied to the company's success.

adjusted return on equity financial

"The PSUs vested at 132% of the target amount of the Issuer's adjusted return on equity..."

Adjusted return on equity is a profitability measure that shows how much profit a company generates for common shareholders after removing one-time items, accounting quirks, or other non-recurring effects from the usual return-on-equity calculation. It matters to investors because it gives a cleaner, more comparable view of how efficiently management turns shareholders’ capital into sustainable earnings—like judging a car’s normal fuel economy after excluding an unusual long trip.

relative total shareholder return financial

"and 96.80% of the target amount of the Issuer's relative total shareholder return within a group of peer companies..."

Relative total shareholder return measures how much an investor’s gain from a company — including stock price changes and dividends — beats or lags a chosen benchmark or peer group over a set time. Think of it as a race: it shows whether the company outpaced rivals or the market, which helps investors and boards judge performance, compare returns fairly, and link results to pay or investment decisions.

Long-Term Incentive Plan financial

"PSUs granted on March 31, 2023 pursuant to the Excelerate Energy, Inc. Long-Term Incentive Plan."

A long-term incentive plan is a company program that pays executives or employees with stock, options, or cash tied to multi-year performance goals, where the rewards become theirs only after meeting conditions over time. Think of it as a delayed bonus or retirement-style reward that aligns employees’ interests with shareholders by encouraging them to boost long-term value; investors watch these plans because they affect pay costs, share dilution and management incentives.

separation from service financial

"The deferred PSUs become payable ... upon the reporting person's separation from service."
