Dividend Equivalents financial
"These shares include 59 Dividend Equivalents (DEs) granted pursuant to the Amgen Inc. Second Amended and Restated 2009 Equity Incentive Plan"
Payments tied to employee or contractor equity awards that mirror the cash dividends paid on the company’s stock; they give the holder the same economic benefit as owning the shares without transferring actual shares—often paid in cash or additional award units when the award becomes payable. Investors care because these payments affect a company’s compensation costs, cash flow and potential share dilution, and they signal how management is being rewarded and aligned with shareholders.
Restricted Stock Units financial
"DEs are credited to the reporting person's unvested Restricted Stock Units and are paid out in shares"
Restricted stock units are a type of company reward where employees are promised shares of stock, but they only fully own these shares after meeting certain conditions, like staying with the company for a set time. They matter because they can become valuable assets and are often used to motivate employees to help the company succeed.
qualifying dividend reinvestment plan financial
"granted pursuant to the Amgen Inc. Second Amended and Restated 2009 Equity Incentive Plan and subject to a qualifying dividend reinvestment plan"
Equity Incentive Plan financial
"granted pursuant to the Amgen Inc. Second Amended and Restated 2009 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.
