Deferred Stock Units financial

"Represents 1,422 Deferred Stock Units issued to the Reporting Person under NRG Energy, Inc.'s Long-Term Incentive Plan."

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.

Long-Term Incentive Plan financial

"Deferred Stock Units issued to the Reporting Person under NRG Energy, Inc.'s Long-Term Incentive Plan."

A long-term incentive plan is a company program that pays executives or employees with stock, options, or cash tied to multi-year performance goals, where the rewards become theirs only after meeting conditions over time. Think of it as a delayed bonus or retirement-style reward that aligns employees’ interests with shareholders by encouraging them to boost long-term value; investors watch these plans because they affect pay costs, share dilution and management incentives.

Common Stock, par value $.01 per share financial

"Each Deferred Stock Unit was equivalent in value to one share of NRG Energy, Inc.'s Common Stock, par value $.01 per share."
