dividend-equivalent stock units financial
"Represents the automatic accrual of dividend-equivalent stock units ("DSUs") on the reporting person's restricted stock units"
Dividend-equivalent stock units are compensation units that track the dividend payments an investor would receive on a share, but are paid to an employee or holder in cash or additional units instead of actual shares. They matter to investors because they represent a company obligation that can affect cash flow and shareholder dilution over time, and they reveal how a company rewards insiders in ways that mimic its dividend policy — like giving a paycheck that follows the company’s dividend stream.
DSUs financial
"The DSUs will become vested on the same schedule as the underlying RSUs"
DSUs, or Deferred Share Units, are a form of long-term pay where employees or directors receive a promise of company shares or cash at a later date instead of immediate salary. Think of them as an IOU for future stock that vests over time and converts into actual shares or cash, so they matter to investors because they can increase the number of outstanding shares (dilution) and reveal how management’s pay is tied to company performance.
RSUs financial
"Represents the automatic accrual of dividend-equivalent stock units ("DSUs") on the reporting person's restricted stock units ("RSUs")"
RSUs, or restricted stock units, are a form of company shares given to employees as part of their compensation. They are typically awarded with certain restrictions, such as a waiting period before they can be fully owned or sold, similar to earning a gift that becomes fully yours over time. For investors, RSUs can impact a company's stock offerings and reflect how much the company relies on stock-based incentives to attract and retain talent.

"Pursuant to the terms of the 2020 Stock Incentive Plan, fractional shares will be settled in cash"
restricted stock units financial
"Represents the automatic accrual of dividend-equivalent stock units ("DSUs") on the reporting person's restricted stock units ("RSUs")"
Restricted stock units are a type of company reward where employees are promised shares of stock, but they only fully own these shares after meeting certain conditions, like staying with the company for a set time. They matter because they can become valuable assets and are often used to motivate employees to help the company succeed.
