"The dividend equivalent rights accrued on unvested restricted stock award(s)..."
Dividend equivalent units are bookkeeping credits that mirror cash dividends paid on actual shares, granted to holders of stock-based awards such as restricted stock units or deferred compensation. They matter to investors because they increase a company’s reported employee compensation cost and can lead to issuance of more shares or cash payouts over time, similar to extra pay linked to ownership that affects shareholder dilution and corporate cash flow.

"Each dividend equivalent unit is the economic equivalent of one common share of Essent Group Ltd."
A common share is a type of ownership in a company that gives the holder a claim to a portion of the company’s profits and assets. It often comes with voting rights, allowing shareholders to participate in decisions about the company’s direction. For investors, owning common shares can mean potential for growth and income, but also involves a higher level of risk compared to other types of investments.
