Nonemployee Directors' Deferred Compensation Plan financial

"Pursuant to terms of the Nonemployee Directors' Deferred Compensation Plan approved"

Stock Units financial

"On August 20, 2026, Mr. Sengstack was credited with 4.52 Stock Units for"

Stock units are individual pieces of ownership in a company, like slices of a pie that together make up the whole business. They matter to investors because each unit represents a claim on the company’s assets, profits and sometimes voting power, and changes in the number or value of these units affect ownership percentages, potential dividends and share dilution — all of which influence an investment’s worth.

deferred compensation financial

"to receive his deferred compensation either in shares of Franklin"

Deferred compensation is pay that employees or executives have earned now but will receive at a later date, such as delayed bonuses, retirement benefits, or stock grants. It matters to investors because it creates future obligations and shapes incentives—like a promise to pay later that can affect a company’s reported profits, cash needs and potential stock dilution—so it helps signal how a business manages costs and retains key people.

dividends financial

"credited with 4.52 Stock Units for dividends that would have been"

Dividends are cash payments a company gives to its shareholders from profits or cash reserves, effectively sharing part of its earnings with owners. They matter to investors because they provide a steady income stream, act like an interest or rent payment on owning the stock, and signal management’s confidence in the business—factors that influence total return and share price. Regular or special dividends can change an investor’s income and reinvestment strategy.
