Stock Units financial
"security_title: "Stock Units""
Stock units are individual pieces of ownership in a company, like slices of a pie that together make up the whole business. They matter to investors because each unit represents a claim on the company’s assets, profits and sometimes voting power, and changes in the number or value of these units affect ownership percentages, potential dividends and share dilution — all of which influence an investment’s worth.
Stock Unit Plan for Nonemployee Directors financial
"Granted pursuant to Archer-Daniels-Midland Company's Stock Unit Plan for Nonemployee Directors."
dividend equivalent financial
"credited to the participant as a dividend equivalent, or the date the participant ceases"
A dividend equivalent is a payment someone receives that matches the cash dividends paid on a stock, even though they don’t actually hold the shares. It often shows up in stock-based pay or certain derivatives, and matters to investors because it preserves the income value and alters the after-tax return and timing of payouts — think of it like getting a paycheck for the dividends you would have earned if you owned the stock directly.
Board of Directors financial
"or the date the participant ceases to be a member of the Board of Directors"
The Board of Directors is a group of people chosen by a company's owners to help make big decisions and oversee how the company is run. They act like a team of advisors or managers, making sure the company stays on track and meets its goals. Their choices can influence the company's success and how it grows.
