deferred stock units financial
"These deferred stock units, which will be converted to shares of issuer common stock at the time of distribution"
Deferred stock units are promises from a company to give an employee shares of stock at a future date, often after certain conditions are met or after leaving the company. They function like a form of delayed compensation, allowing employees to earn shares over time. For investors, they represent potential future ownership in the company, but do not provide immediate voting rights or dividends until the shares are actually received.
Deferred Stock Unit Plan for Non-Employee Directors and Selected Executives financial
"awarded under the Advance Auto Parts, Inc. Deferred Stock Unit Plan for Non-Employee Directors and Selected Executives"
vest financial
"These shares will vest on June 2, 2027"
A vest is the process by which an employee earns the right to receive certain benefits or ownership interests, such as stock or retirement funds, over time. It’s similar to earning a reward gradually, ensuring that the benefit becomes fully yours only after a set period or meeting specific conditions. This makes it important for investors because it determines when they can actually claim or use those benefits.
pro-rata basis financial
"will be distributed on a pro-rata basis if board service ends prior to the vesting date"
Allocation or distribution that gives each participant a share proportional to their existing ownership, stake or entitlement — like slicing a pie so everyone gets a piece matching how big their original slice was. For investors this matters because it determines how much of new shares, dividends, fees or obligations they receive, helps preserve or change ownership percentages, and directly affects dilution and voting power.
