performance-based restricted share units financial

"Represents performance-based restricted share units that have vested and are paid out in shares of common stock"

Performance-based restricted share units are promises to give company stock to employees or executives only if the business hits specified targets, such as revenue, profit or stock performance; think of them as a bonus paid in shares that only vests when certain goals are met. They matter to investors because they align management incentives with shareholder outcomes, can dilute share count when paid out, and reveal how leadership is being rewarded and what milestones the company expects to reach.

restricted share units financial

"Represents restricted share units that have vested and are paid out in shares of common stock"

Restricted share units (RSUs) are a promise from a company to give an employee or service provider actual shares or cash equal to the shares after certain conditions are met, typically staying with the company for a set time or hitting performance targets. Think of them like a time-locked gift card that becomes usable only after you’ve earned it. For investors, RSUs matter because they align employee incentives with company performance and can increase the number of shares outstanding over time, diluting existing ownership and affecting earnings per share.

dividends reinvested financial

"includes restricted share units which were accrued based on dividends paid on the Corporation's common stock"
