Director Deferred Share Units financial

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

beneficially own financial

"Represents shares directly beneficially owned by BEP Special Situations V LLC."

Beneficially own means having the economic rights and risks of a security—such as the right to receive dividends, sell the shares, or profit from price changes—whether or not your name appears on the official share register. Think of it like renting a car: you use it and reap the benefits even if the title lists someone else. Investors care because beneficial ownership determines who truly controls value, must be disclosed under securities rules, and can signal potential influence or trading activity that affects a stock’s price.

pecuniary interest financial

"The reporting person disclaims beneficial ownership of such shares except to the extent of his pecuniary interest therein."

retainer fees financial

"Director deferred share units received as partial payment of retainer fees that have been deferred"
