Deferred Fee Plan for Directors financial
"for deferral of cash retainer under the Issuer's Amended and Restated Deferred Fee Plan for Directors."
dividend equivalent rights financial
"Includes dividend equivalent rights in connection with the Issuer's quarterly dividend and accrued to the Reporting Person on DSUs held by the Reporting Person."
Dividend equivalent rights are promises that mirror the cash payments shareholders get from a company’s profits, but they are paid to holders of certain awards (like stock options or restricted stock units) rather than to actual shares. Think of them as a paycheck top‑up that matches dividends while the award is not yet a real stock, and they matter to investors because they add to employee compensation costs and potential share dilution, affecting company profitability and per‑share value.
fair market value financial
"Each DSU represents the fair market value of one share of Common Stock on the business day prior to settlement date."
The price a willing buyer and a willing seller would agree on for an asset or security when neither is under pressure and both have access to the same information. Think of it as the market’s neutral estimate of what something is worth, like the price two neighbors would settle on for a car after comparing similar listings. Investors care because fair market value guides buying and selling decisions, tax reporting, portfolio valuation, and how accurately company assets are reflected in financial statements.
