Deferred Stock Units financial

"Each deferred stock unit represents the right to receive one share of Company common stock or the cash equivalent."

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.

Executive Deferral and Stock Match Plan financial

"Deferred stock units settle in cash or shares of Company common stock following termination of employment or during a specified future year in accordance with Executive Deferral and Stock Match Plan."
