Dividend Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan financial

"to purchase shares of common stock through participation in the Issuer's 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.

director compensation financial

"prior election made by the Reporting Person to use a portion of her director compensation"

Beneficial ownership financial

"Includes shares acquired pursuant to the Dividend Reinvestment Plan."

Beneficial ownership means the person or entity that actually enjoys the benefits of owning shares or other assets — such as receiving dividends, voting rights, or price gains — even if the legal title is held in another name. For investors it matters because knowing who truly controls and profits from a company reveals who can influence decisions, exposes potential conflicts of interest or hidden concentration of power, and affects transparency and risk in the stock.
