Key Terms

restricted stock units, dividend reinvestment, withheld for payment of taxes

3 terms

restricted stock units financial

"Represents an award of restricted stock units that vest on the one-year anniversary"

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 reinvestment financial

"Includes 65 shares acquired through dividend reinvestment since the last report"

Dividend reinvestment is when the money earned from a company's profit sharing, called dividends, is automatically used to buy more shares of that company instead of being received as cash. This process helps investors grow their holdings over time without extra effort, much like using earned interest to buy more of a savings account. It encourages long-term investment growth by continuously increasing the amount of shares owned.

withheld for payment of taxes financial

"Represents shares withheld for payment of taxes upon the vesting of restricted stock units"
