dividend-equivalent stock units financial

"Represents the automatic accrual of dividend-equivalent stock units ("DSUs") on the reporting person's restricted stock units"

Dividend-equivalent stock units are compensation units that track the dividend payments an investor would receive on a share, but are paid to an employee or holder in cash or additional units instead of actual shares. They matter to investors because they represent a company obligation that can affect cash flow and shareholder dilution over time, and they reveal how a company rewards insiders in ways that mimic its dividend policy — like giving a paycheck that follows the company’s dividend stream.

restricted stock units financial

"Represents the automatic accrual of dividend-equivalent stock units ("DSUs") on the reporting person's restricted stock units ("RSUs")"

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.

2020 Stock Incentive Plan financial

"Pursuant to the terms of the 2020 Stock Incentive Plan, fractional shares will be settled in cash"

fractional shares financial

"Pursuant to the terms of the 2020 Stock Incentive Plan, fractional shares will be settled in cash"

Fractional shares are portions of a whole share of a stock or fund, allowing investors to own less than one full unit. They make it possible to invest a specific dollar amount rather than buy whole shares, like buying a slice of a pizza instead of the entire pie. For investors this lowers the cost barrier, helps with diversification, and lets you reinvest dividends or purchase expensive stocks in small, precise amounts.
