"Director deferred share units represent the right to receive one share of Evergy, Inc. common stock"

deferred share units financial

"Includes 2,733 deferred share units acquired through the reinvestment of dividend equivalents"

Deferred share units are promises that give an executive or director the right to receive company shares or their cash value at a future date, often when they retire or leave the company. Think of them as a paycheck held in a savings account that converts into stock later; they matter to investors because they tie pay to long-term performance, create potential future dilution of shares, and represent a delayed cash or share obligation the company must eventually fulfill.

dividend equivalents financial

"Includes 2,733 deferred share units acquired through the reinvestment of dividend equivalents"

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.
