Phantom Stock Units financial

"Represents Phantom Stock Units ("PSUs") granted pursuant to the IES Holdings, Inc. ("IES") 2006 Equity Incentive Plan"

Phantom stock units are company promises that pay a cash or stock-equivalent award tied to the firm’s share price or value growth, but they do not issue actual shares. Think of them as a bonus check that moves with the stock like a mirror rather than handing over an ownership slice. Investors care because these awards can affect a company’s future cash obligations, executive incentives and reported expenses without causing share dilution.

2006 Equity Incentive Plan financial

"granted pursuant to the IES Holdings, Inc. ("IES") 2006 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended and restated"

change of control financial

"or (ii) upon a change of control as defined in the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan"

A change of control occurs when the ownership or management of a company shifts significantly, such as through a sale, merger, or acquisition, resulting in new leadership or ownership structure. This change can impact the company's direction and decision-making, which is important for investors because it may affect the company's stability, strategy, and future prospects.

retainer financial

"upon Mr. Fouts electing to receive PSUs in lieu of cash or common stock for that portion of his retainer"
