dividend equivalent units financial
"The dividend equivalent rights accrued on unvested restricted stock award(s) and/or unvested restricted stock unit 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.
weighted average price financial
"The price reported in Column 4 is a weighted average price."
Weighted average price is the average price of a security where each trade or component is counted according to its size, so bigger trades pull the average more than smaller ones. Think of it like calculating the average cost of a grocery haul where items you bought more of have greater influence on the final per-item cost. Investors use it to understand the true average price paid or received, judge execution quality, and compare trading performance against market movement.
restricted stock unit award(s) financial
"The dividend equivalent rights accrued on unvested restricted stock award(s) and/or unvested restricted stock unit award(s)"
economic equivalent financial
"Each dividend equivalent unit is the economic equivalent of one common share of Essent Group Ltd."
