Restricted Stock Units ("RSUs") financial
"Dividend equivalents accrued on Restricted Stock Units ("RSUs") previously awarded pursuant to Issuer's incentive plan."
Restricted stock units (RSUs) are a company promise to give an employee shares of stock (or cash equivalent) in the future, but only after certain conditions—usually staying with the company for a set time or hitting performance goals—are met. Investors watch RSUs because when they vest they increase the number of shares outstanding and can lead insiders to sell shares, affecting share price, company dilution and the true cost of employee pay.
dividend equivalents financial
"Dividend equivalents accrue when dividends are paid on the common shares underlying the RSUs, and vest proportionally with and are subject to settlement and expiration upon the same terms as the RSUs to which they relate."
Payments tied to employee or contractor equity awards that mirror the cash dividends paid on the company’s stock; they give the holder the same economic benefit as owning the shares without transferring actual shares—often paid in cash or additional award units when the award becomes payable. Investors care because these payments affect a company’s compensation costs, cash flow and potential share dilution, and they signal how management is being rewarded and aligned with shareholders.
contingent right financial
"Dividend equivalents are issued in the form of RSUs, each of which represents a contingent right to receive one share of common stock."
