Dividend Equivalent Unit financial
"Represents dividend equivalent units accrued on May 15, 2026 as dividends"
restricted stock units financial
"dividends that were paid on the common shares underlying restricted stock units"
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.
deferred stock units financial
"underlying restricted stock units and deferred stock units previously granted"
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.
Long-Term Incentive Plans financial
"previously granted to the Reporting Person under the Company's Long-Term Incentive Plans"
Long-term incentive plans are multi-year pay programs that reward executives and key employees with stock, options, or cash bonuses when the company hits future performance goals. Think of it like paying someone with a portion of the business or future bonuses to keep them focused on growing the company over several years. Investors watch these plans because they influence executive decisions, potential share dilution, and whether management’s goals line up with long-term shareholder value.
