Restricted Stock Award financial

"Restricted Stock Award granted in accordance with the Company's 2020 Long Term Incentive Plan."

A restricted stock award is company shares given to an employee or executive that cannot be sold or fully owned until certain conditions—like staying with the company for a set time or hitting performance targets—are met. Think of it as a gift that only becomes yours after you fulfill specific obligations; for investors, these awards matter because they can increase the total shares outstanding when they vest, reveal how management is being paid and motivated, and create potential selling pressure when restrictions lift.

2020 Long Term Incentive Plan financial

"granted in accordance with the Company's 2020 Long Term Incentive Plan."

Dividend Reinvestment Plan financial

"Includes shares acquired through the Dividend Reinvestment Plan since the reporting person's last Form 4 filing."

A dividend reinvestment plan lets shareholders automatically use cash dividends to buy more shares of the same company instead of receiving the money. It matters to investors because it turns regular payouts into a steady way to grow ownership and take advantage of compound returns—like having your savings automatically buy additional slices of a pie over time—while often reducing transaction costs and smoothing purchase timing.

Family Limited Partnership financial

"Indirect ownership listed as Family Limited Partnership."
