TSR performance units financial

"certified attainment of the performance measure under the TSR performance units awarded"

accumulated dividends financial

"Payout in shares of accumulated dividends on vesting performance units."

Long-Term Equity Incentive Plan financial

"Pursuant to the terms of the Company's Long-Term Equity Incentive Plan, the Company withheld shares"

withholding tax obligation financial

"withheld shares to cover the withholding tax obligation associated with equity awards vesting"

beneficial ownership financial

"Reporting person disclaims beneficial ownership of shares held by spouse."

Beneficial ownership means the person or entity that actually enjoys the benefits of owning shares or other assets — such as receiving dividends, voting rights, or price gains — even if the legal title is held in another name. For investors it matters because knowing who truly controls and profits from a company reveals who can influence decisions, exposes potential conflicts of interest or hidden concentration of power, and affects transparency and risk in the stock.
