Restricted Stock Units (RSUs) financial
"The Restricted Stock Units (RSUs) were granted pursuant to the Amgen Inc. Second Amended and Restated 2009 Equity Incentive Plan"
Restricted stock units (RSUs) are a type of company promise to give employees shares of stock in the future, usually after certain conditions like working for a set time. They are like a gift promised today that you receive later, which can become valuable if the company's stock price goes up. RSUs matter because they are a way companies reward employees and can be a significant part of compensation.
Dividend Equivalents (DEs) financial
"These shares include 69 Dividend Equivalents (DEs) granted pursuant to the Equity Incentive Plan"
non-qualified stock options financial
"These non-qualified stock options were granted pursuant to the Equity Incentive Plan and vest and are exercisable in four equal annual installments"
Non-qualified stock options are a type of employee benefit that gives individuals the right to buy company shares at a set price, usually lower than the market value, within a certain period. Unlike other options that may have special tax advantages, these options are taxed as income when exercised, which can affect how much money the employee or investor ultimately gains. They are important because they can influence company compensation strategies and impact the financial outcomes for employees and investors.
Equity Incentive Plan financial
"granted pursuant to the Amgen Inc. Second Amended and Restated 2009 Equity Incentive Plan (the Equity Incentive Plan)"
An equity incentive plan is a program that gives employees, executives or directors the right to receive company stock or options to buy stock as part of their pay. Think of it as offering slices of future company profit to motivate people to boost long‑term performance; for investors it matters because it can align employee goals with shareholder value but also increases the number of shares outstanding, which can dilute existing ownership.
