- The DERs accrued on three outstanding RSU awards and vest proportionately with the RSUs to which they relate. The number of DERs is calculated as of the dividend record date by multiplying the dividend per share ($1.25) by the number of outstanding RSUs, and, to the extent applicable, previously accrued DERs and then dividing the result by the fair value of the common share on the dividend payment date. Each DER is the economic equivalent of one share. Excludes DERs that accrued on outstanding RSUs prior to June 2, 2026, which are reflected in outstanding RSUs. Restricted stock units (RSUs) convert into Class A Common Shares on a one-for-one basis. The RSUs vested on June 2, 2026. Amounts reported include DERs that accrued on the RSUs prior to June 2, 2026.

Restricted Stock Units financial
"Restricted stock units (RSUs) convert into Class A Common Shares on a one-for-one basis."
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 Equivalent Rights financial
"Settlement of Dividend Equivalent Rights (DERs) that accrued on June 2, 2026 and were settled in shares"
Dividend equivalent rights are promises that mirror the cash payments shareholders get from a company’s profits, but they are paid to holders of certain awards (like stock options or restricted stock units) rather than to actual shares. Think of them as a paycheck top‑up that matches dividends while the award is not yet a real stock, and they matter to investors because they add to employee compensation costs and potential share dilution, affecting company profitability and per‑share value.
tax withholding obligations financial
"Represents shares withheld to pay tax withholding obligations due on the date of vesting of RSUs; not a market transaction."
equity compensation financial
"The activity reflects equity compensation mechanics, not open-market trading, and includes both derivative exercises and an additional grant"
Equity compensation is pay given to employees, executives or contractors in the form of company ownership—such as stock, stock options or restricted shares—rather than just cash. It matters to investors because it can align workers' incentives with shareholders (like paying someone in slices of the same pie they help grow), but it also increases the number of shares outstanding and company expenses, affecting ownership percentages and earnings per share.
