Restricted Stock Units financial
"Represents restricted stock units that vest on May 21, 2027, the first anniversary of the award."
Restricted stock units are a type of company reward where employees are promised shares of stock, but they only fully own these shares after meeting certain conditions, like staying with the company for a set time. They matter because they can become valuable assets and are often used to motivate employees to help the company succeed.
Dividend Reinvestment Plan financial
"Reflects an increase in beneficial ownership resulting from an exempt acquisition of common stock under Shore Bancshares Dividend Reinvestment Plan pursuant to Rule 16a-11."
A dividend reinvestment plan lets shareholders automatically use cash dividends to buy more shares of the same company instead of receiving the money. It matters to investors because it turns regular payouts into a steady way to grow ownership and take advantage of compound returns—like having your savings automatically buy additional slices of a pie over time—while often reducing transaction costs and smoothing purchase timing.
Rule 16a-11 regulatory
"Exempt acquisition of common stock under Shore Bancshares Dividend Reinvestment Plan pursuant to Rule 16a-11."
beneficial ownership financial
"Reflects an increase in beneficial ownership resulting from an exempt acquisition of common stock under Shore Bancshares Dividend Reinvestment Plan."
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.
contingent right financial
"Each restricted stock unit represents a contingent right to receive one share of SHBI common stock."
