Dividend Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan financial

"Total shares includes 67 shares acquired pursuant to the issuer's 2010 Dividend Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan."

A dividend reinvestment and stock purchase plan lets investors automatically use cash dividends to buy additional shares and often make extra share purchases directly from the company, usually at low or no commission. Think of it as an automatic savings plan for stock: dividends and optional contributions are turned into more shares, helping ownership grow through compounding and making regular investing simple and low-cost—key for long-term investors.

restricted stock units financial

"Includes previously reported unvested restricted stock units."

Restricted stock units are a type of company reward where employees are promised shares of stock, but they only fully own these shares after meeting certain conditions, like staying with the company for a set time. They matter because they can become valuable assets and are often used to motivate employees to help the company succeed.

director's fees financial

"These shares were received in lieu of cash for a portion of the reporting person's director's fees."
