Performance Share Units technical

"Performance Share Units (PSUs) awarded October 11, 2023"

Performance share units are a type of company stock award given to employees that depend on the company meeting specific goals or targets. If these goals are achieved, the employee receives shares or the value of shares; if not, they may receive little or no compensation. This aligns employees’ interests with the company's success and encourages performance that benefits investors.

total shareholder return (TSR) financial

"148% payout based on total shareholder return (TSR)"

Total shareholder return (TSR) measures how much an investment in a company's stock has grown over a specific period by combining the change in the share price and all dividends paid, expressed as a percentage. Think of it like tracking the total balance of a savings jar that increases both from added cash (dividends) and a rising sticker price on the jar (share price); investors use TSR to compare how well different stocks or managers deliver real, money-in-hand returns.
