restricted stock units ("RSUs") financial

"DSUs will become vested on the same schedule as the underlying 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.

2020 Stock Incentive Plan financial

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

401(k) plan financial

"Reflects shares acquired under the Company's 401(k) plan in transactions exempt from reporting requirements"

A 401(k) plan is a workplace retirement account that lets employees set aside part of their pay into a tax-advantaged savings pot, often with employers adding matching contributions — like a workplace piggy bank for future income. It matters to investors because the amount people save and how employers fund these plans influence consumer spending, corporate payroll costs and the flow of money into financial markets, which can affect stock prices and company valuations.
