What are the Restricted Stock Units in the PNW Form 4 filing?

The Restricted Stock Units each represent a contingent right to receive the economic equivalent of one Pinnacle West common share. They are settled 100% in common stock as vesting conditions are met, with some awards vesting annually starting on specified February 20 dates in 2023, 2024, 2025, and 2026.

Why were some PNW shares disposed or withheld in this Form 4?

Certain Pinnacle West shares were disposed back to the company and others withheld at $98.34 per share to satisfy tax withholding and related obligations. Footnotes clarify that the recipient retained the remaining shares, so only a portion of the RSU-delivered stock was used for these purposes.

Were dividend equivalent rights involved in the PNW RSU transactions?

Yes. Several RSU positions include units received from dividend equivalent rights, which accrue when cash dividends are paid on Pinnacle West common stock. Some derivative security counts specifically include vested RSUs created through these dividend equivalents, which then settle in common shares alongside the underlying awards.
