performance share units financial

"Reflects the number of performance share units ("PSUs") earned after the Compensation Committee's certification"

Performance share units are a type of company stock award given to employees that depend on the company meeting specific goals or targets. If these goals are achieved, the employee receives shares or the value of shares; if not, they may receive little or no compensation. This aligns employees’ interests with the company's success and encourages performance that benefits investors.

PSUs financial

"PSUs are settled in shares of common stock on a one-for-one basis"

PSUs are company shares promised to employees or executives that only become actual stock if the business hits specific performance targets over a set period. For investors, PSUs matter because they link pay to measurable outcomes — similar to a conditional bonus that converts into ownership — which can influence management decisions, dilution of shares, and signals about confidence in future results.

Compensation Committee financial

"earned after the Compensation Committee's certification to the achievement of performance"

A compensation committee is a group within a company's leadership responsible for setting and reviewing how much top executives and employees are paid, including salaries, bonuses, and benefits. It matters to investors because fair and effective pay decisions can influence a company's performance, leadership motivation, and overall governance, helping ensure that the company’s management is aligned with shareholders’ interests.
