Restricted Stock Units financial

"On September 2, 2025, the reporting person was granted 2,281 RSUs, all of which vested on May 1, 2026."

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.

Stock Equivalent Unit financial

"Upon the vesting of RSUs on May 1, 2026, the reporting person deferred the receipt of 2,281 shares of Common Stock and received instead 2,281 Stock Equivalent Units ("Units")."

deferred compensation plan financial

"received instead 2,281 Stock Equivalent Units ("Units") pursuant to the Company's deferred compensation plan."

A deferred compensation plan is an arrangement where an employer agrees to pay part of an employee’s pay or bonus at a later date instead of immediately, often to reduce current tax bills or to tie rewards to long-term performance. For investors it matters because these promises create future cash obligations and influence executive incentives and retention; they can affect a company’s reported liabilities, cash flow planning and the risk profile if the business faces financial trouble.

Non-Employee Director Compensation Program financial

"Represent RSUs granted under the Non-Employee Director Compensation Program."

Common Stock financial

"The Restricted Stock Units ("RSUs") convert to Common Stock on a one-for-one basis."

Common stock represents ownership shares in a company, giving investors a stake in its success and a say in important decisions through voting rights. It is the most common type of stock traded on markets and can provide income through dividends, as well as potential for value growth. For investors, holding common stock means sharing in the company’s profits and risks.
