2005 Director Deferred Fee Plan financial
"acquired by the Reporting Person, in an exempt transaction, pursuant to the 2005 Director Deferred Fee Plan"
deferred stock units financial
"Represents the number of deferred stock units acquired by the Reporting Person"
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.
dividend reinvestment feature financial
"include deferred stock units acquired pursuant to the dividend reinvestment feature of such Plan"
restricted stock units ("RSUs") financial
"These securities consist of 902 restricted stock units ("RSUs") and 173 shares of common stock"
Restricted stock units (RSUs) are a company promise to give an employee shares of stock (or cash equivalent) in the future, but only after certain conditions—usually staying with the company for a set time or hitting performance goals—are met. Investors watch RSUs because when they vest they increase the number of shares outstanding and can lead insiders to sell shares, affecting share price, company dilution and the true cost of employee pay.
