Stock Units financial
"Granted pursuant to Archer-Daniels-Midland Company's Stock Unit Plan for Nonemployee Directors."
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
"calendar quarter for which any stock unit is awarded to the participant, or in which such stock unit is credited to the participant as a dividend equivalent"
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.
