performance share units financial

"incremental shares underlying performance share units ("PSUs") earned"

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.

one-for-one basis financial

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

performance period financial

"performance period ended August 1, 2026"

The performance period is the specific time span over which an investment’s results, an employee’s targets, or a fund’s returns are measured and judged. It matters to investors because the length and start/end of that window determine which gains or losses count toward performance fees, bonus payouts, or benchmark comparisons—much like timing a race decides who wins, the chosen period can change whether results look strong or weak.
