restricted stock units financial

"Includes an award of restricted stock units granted to the Reporting Person"

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.

Performance Share Units financial

"Reflects 578 dividend equivalent shares accrued on performance share units"

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.

dividend equivalent financial

"Reflects 578 dividend equivalent shares accrued on performance share units"

A dividend equivalent is a payment someone receives that matches the cash dividends paid on a stock, even though they don’t actually hold the shares. It often shows up in stock-based pay or certain derivatives, and matters to investors because it preserves the income value and alters the after-tax return and timing of payouts — think of it like getting a paycheck for the dividends you would have earned if you owned the stock directly.
