Google Stock Units financial
"The Google Stock Units (GSUs) entitle the Reporting Person to receive one share of Alphabet Inc. Class C Capital Stock"
Dividend equivalent units financial
"Represents the dividend equivalent units (DEUs) that accrued on the Reporting Person's GSUs held as of June 8, 2026"
Dividend equivalent units are bookkeeping credits that mirror cash dividends paid on actual shares, granted to holders of stock-based awards such as restricted stock units or deferred compensation. They matter to investors because they increase a company’s reported employee compensation cost and can lead to issuance of more shares or cash payouts over time, similar to extra pay linked to ownership that affects shareholder dilution and corporate cash flow.
Class C Capital Stock financial
"one share of Alphabet Inc. Class C Capital Stock for each share underlying the GSU"
Revocable Trust financial
"By Roger W Ferguson Jr 2016 Revocable Trust"
A revocable trust is a legal arrangement where the person who creates it keeps control and can change or cancel the trust at any time, while naming who will manage and receive the assets later. Think of it like a flexible folder for your investments and property that can be relabeled or reworked as circumstances change; it matters to investors because it determines how ownership is recorded, how easily assets transfer on incapacity or death, and whether holdings bypass public probate proceedings.
Vesting financial
"an additional 1/48th of GSUs will vest monthly thereafter until the GSUs are fully vested"
Vesting is the process by which you earn full ownership of something, like company stock or a retirement benefit, over time. It’s like earning the right to keep a gift piece by piece the longer you stay with a company, making sure employees stay committed before they receive all the benefits.
