Key Terms

3 terms

restricted stock financial

"Grant of restricted stock to vest equitably over three years."

Shares granted to an individual that carry limits on transfer or sale until certain conditions are met, such as staying with the company for a set time or hitting performance targets. Think of them as a locked gift that gradually opens; for investors they matter because they affect how many shares may enter the market later, signal management incentives and potential dilution, and reveal confidence in future company performance.

dividend reinvestment plan financial

"Includes shares acquired under The York Water Company dividend reinvestment plan."

A dividend reinvestment plan lets shareholders automatically use cash dividends to buy more shares of the same company instead of receiving the money. It matters to investors because it turns regular payouts into a steady way to grow ownership and take advantage of compound returns—like having your savings automatically buy additional slices of a pie over time—while often reducing transaction costs and smoothing purchase timing.

grant/award acquisition financial

"transaction_action: grant/award acquisition for 796.0000 Common Stock shares."
