"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.

"accrued on unvested restricted stock award(s) and/or unvested restricted stock unit award(s) and become vested proportionately"
