Restricted Share Unit financial

"security_title: "Restricted Share Unit""

A restricted share unit (RSU) is a promise by a company to give an employee a set number of company shares at a future date, typically after meeting time or performance conditions. For investors, RSUs matter because when they convert into actual shares they increase the number of shares outstanding (like unlocking more tickets in a game), which can dilute existing holders, and they align employee incentives with company performance, influencing behavior and long-term value.

dividend equivalent rights financial

"The dividend equivalent rights accrued on the reporting person's restricted share unit award"

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.
