Employees' Stock Purchase Plan financial

"shares were acquired under the Issuer's Employees' Stock Purchase Plan"

Rule 16b-3(d) regulatory

"transaction that was exempt under both Rule 16b-3(d) and Rule 16b-3(c)"

Rule 16b-3(d) is a narrow SEC safe-harbor that shields company insiders (officers, directors and large shareholders) from liability for short‑swing profits when their buys or sells of company stock are made under a pre-established, written plan or contract that removes the insider’s ability to time trades. For investors, this matters because it permits predictable, automated insider transactions — like scheduled sales for diversification or payroll withholding — without triggering forced disgorgement, so such planned trades are treated differently from opportunistic insider trading.

Rule 16b-3(c) regulatory

"transaction that was exempt under both Rule 16b-3(d) and Rule 16b-3(c)"

An SEC rule that lets corporate insiders avoid automatic "short‑swing" profit recovery when they buy or sell their company’s stock under a pre‑approved, written plan that meets specific conditions. For investors, it matters because it clarifies when insider trades are treated as routine, reducing legal uncertainty and helping distinguish trades made for ordinary compensation or pre‑planned reasons from those that might signal opportunistic or timely insider advantage.

Dividend Reinvestment Plan (DRIP) financial

"includes shares acquired under The York Water Company's Dividend Reinvestment Plan (DRIP)"

A dividend reinvestment plan (DRIP) is a program that automatically uses the cash dividends an investor receives to buy additional shares (or fractions of shares) of the same company instead of paying out cash. Like a snowball that quietly grows larger, it helps investors compound returns over time, increase ownership without manual trades or commission costs, and change future income streams — though dividends used are still taxable as income.
