Restricted stock units financial
"On June 1, 2026, she was granted 975 restricted stock units as part of 2026 compensation."
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.
Dividend equivalent rights financial
"Dividend equivalent rights accrue with respect to these restricted stock units when and as dividends are paid."
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.
Long-Term Performance Incentive Plan financial
"Time-based restricted stock units granted under the Company's Long-Term Performance Incentive Plan to non-management directors."
Director Stock Ownership Plan financial
"Reflects 75% of the Director's annual retainer paid in shares pursuant to the 2023 Director Stock Ownership Plan."
