deferred compensation financial
"Includes 41,350.40 vested phantom shares acquired as deferred compensation for service as a director, which are not subject to forfeiture."
Deferred compensation is pay that employees or executives have earned now but will receive at a later date, such as delayed bonuses, retirement benefits, or stock grants. It matters to investors because it creates future obligations and shapes incentives—like a promise to pay later that can affect a company’s reported profits, cash needs and potential stock dilution—so it helps signal how a business manages costs and retains key people.
dividend equivalents financial
"Total includes shares accrued as dividend equivalents since the date of the last report of phantom shares."
Payments tied to employee or contractor equity awards that mirror the cash dividends paid on the company’s stock; they give the holder the same economic benefit as owning the shares without transferring actual shares—often paid in cash or additional award units when the award becomes payable. Investors care because these payments affect a company’s compensation costs, cash flow and potential share dilution, and they signal how management is being rewarded and aligned with shareholders.
forfeiture financial
"Shares are subject to forfeiture if service as a director terminates for any reason other than death, disability or removal without cause prior to Sempra's 2027 Annual Shareholders Meeting."
