Deferred Restricted Stock Units financial
"Each deferred restricted stock unit ("DRSU") represents a contingent right to receive one share"
Deferred restricted stock units are promises by a company to give employees or executives company shares at a future date, subject to conditions like continued employment or performance targets; the delivery and tax event are intentionally delayed. They matter to investors because they affect when new shares may be issued and how executives are motivated—like a paycheck held in escrow that vests over time, influencing potential share dilution and management behavior.
dividend equivalent rights financial
"Represents accrual of dividend equivalent rights on DRSUs held by the Reporting Person"
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.
