Relative Performance Stock Units financial
"On April 30, 2026, the Reporting Person was issued 13,423 RPSUs by NRG"
Relative performance stock units are a type of share-based pay that vests and pays out only if the company’s stock does better or worse than a predefined group of peers or a market benchmark over a set period. Imagine a race where rewards depend not on finishing time alone but on beating the other runners; for investors this matters because it links executives’ pay to competitive results and can dilute shares if large payouts occur.
dividend equivalent rights financial
"Represents dividend equivalent rights accrued on the Reporting Person's deferred stock units"
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 Incentive Plan financial
"issued 13,423 RPSUs by NRG under the Company's Long Term Incentive Plan"
A long term incentive plan is a company program that awards executives and key employees bonuses—often in stock, options, or cash—only if the business meets multi-year performance goals. It links management pay to company results—like tying a coach’s bonus to a team’s multi-season record—so investors monitor it for how leaders are motivated, potential share dilution, and signals about the company’s long-term priorities.
deferred stock units financial
"dividend equivalent rights accrued on the Reporting Person's deferred stock units"
Deferred stock units are promises from a company to give an employee shares of stock at a future date, often after certain conditions are met or after leaving the company. They function like a form of delayed compensation, allowing employees to earn shares over time. For investors, they represent potential future ownership in the company, but do not provide immediate voting rights or dividends until the shares are actually received.
