Restricted Common Stock financial
"The reporting person received shares of Restricted Common Stock, issued pursuant to the terms of the SLM Corporation 2021 Omnibus Incentive Plan"
Restricted common stock is company shares that carry limits on selling or transferring for a set period or until certain conditions are met, like time-based vesting or regulatory clearance. Think of them as shares in a locked box that gradually open; they can become freely tradable later but initially reduce the number of shares available on the market. Investors watch restricted stock because its eventual release can change a company’s share supply, affect stock price, and influence control and dilution.

"2026 Independent Director Restricted Stock Agreement (the "2026 Agreement") in partial payment of the annual retainer to independent directors"
Dividend Equivalent Units financial
"Includes Dividend Equivalent Units issued in connection with Restricted Common Stock held by the reporting person"
Dividend equivalent units are bookkeeping credits that mirror cash dividends paid on actual shares, granted to holders of stock-based awards such as restricted stock units or deferred compensation. They matter to investors because they increase a company’s reported employee compensation cost and can lead to issuance of more shares or cash payouts over time, similar to extra pay linked to ownership that affects shareholder dilution and corporate cash flow.
