Deferred Stock Unit Plan financial

"Advance Auto Parts, Inc. Deferred Stock Unit Plan for Non-Employee Directors and Selected Executives"

A deferred stock unit plan grants employees or executives hypothetical share units that convert into actual shares or cash at a future date, often after meeting conditions like continued employment or retirement. It matters to investors because it ties pay to long-term performance and creates a future claim on the company’s stock or cash, which can dilute existing shareholders or signal management’s confidence in future value — like a delayed bonus paid in ownership.
