dividend equivalent rights financial
"Represents dividend equivalent rights accrued on the Reporting Person's Restricted Stock Units ("RSUs")"
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.
Restricted Stock Units ("RSUs") financial
"Represents dividend equivalent rights accrued on the Reporting Person's Restricted Stock Units ("RSUs")"
Restricted stock units (RSUs) are a company promise to give an employee shares of stock (or cash equivalent) in the future, but only after certain conditions—usually staying with the company for a set time or hitting performance goals—are met. Investors watch RSUs because when they vest they increase the number of shares outstanding and can lead insiders to sell shares, affecting share price, company dilution and the true cost of employee pay.
Class C Common Stock financial
"may only be settled in Class C Common Stock of Clearway Energy, Inc."
A class C common stock is a type of company share that usually represents ownership but often carries limited or no voting power compared with other share classes. For investors, that matters because it can affect influence over company decisions and sometimes the stock’s price or dividend priority — think of it as owning a ticket to the same event but in a section with less say in how the event is run.
