2021 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan financial
"Represents stock units granted under the Issuer's 2021 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan."
Non-Employee Director Deferred Compensation Plan financial
"subject to a written deferral election under the Issuer's Non-Employee Director Deferred Compensation Plan (the "DDCP")"
stock units financial
"Represents stock units granted under the Issuer's 2021 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan."
Stock units are individual pieces of ownership in a company, like slices of a pie that together make up the whole business. They matter to investors because each unit represents a claim on the company’s assets, profits and sometimes voting power, and changes in the number or value of these units affect ownership percentages, potential dividends and share dilution — all of which influence an investment’s worth.
quarterly cash dividend financial
"credited to the reporting person's DDCP account in connection with a quarterly cash dividend"
A quarterly cash dividend is a payment made by a company to its shareholders four times a year, usually based on its profits. It is like a regular bonus or reward for owning the company's stock, providing shareholders with income. Many investors see these payments as a sign of the company's stability and its ability to generate consistent profits.
