Stock Equivalent Units financial

"the reporting person elected to defer a portion of his quarterly cash retainer payment into Stock Equivalent Units"

Stock equivalent units are financial claims or instruments that are treated as if they were actual shares for purposes like calculating ownership, dilution, and earnings per share. Think of them as promises or placeholders for future slices of company pie—options, restricted units, or convertible securities—that don’t yet sit on the table but will reduce each existing slice when converted. Investors track them because they change how much of a company each share really represents and can affect valuation and voting power.

Directors' Deferred Compensation Sub-Plan financial

"Pursuant to the terms of the Company's Directors' Deferred Compensation Sub-Plan, the reporting person elected"

Restricted Share Units financial

"include 8 Stock Equivalent Units and/or Restricted Share Units accrued from dividend payments"

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.

Stock Incentive and Award Plan financial

"accrued from dividend payments pursuant to the Company's Stock Incentive and Award Plan"
