5 terms
Dividend Equivalents (DEs) financial
"These shares include 69 Dividend Equivalents (DEs) granted pursuant to the Amgen Inc."
Restricted Stock Units financial
"DEs are credited to the reporting person's unvested Restricted Stock Units and are paid out"
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.
withholding taxes financial
"Includes shares sold to cover the option exercise price and required withholding taxes"
Withholding taxes are amounts a payer or government takes out of payments — such as wages, interest, or dividends — before the recipient gets the money, functioning like a cashier keeping part of a bill to pay taxes on your behalf. For investors this matters because it reduces the cash they actually receive, affects net returns and yield calculations, and may require additional paperwork or treaty claims to recover or offset the withheld amount against final tax bills.
Amgen Inc. Second Amended and Restated 2009 Equity Incentive Plan financial
"granted pursuant to the Amgen Inc. Second Amended and Restated 2009 Equity Incentive Plan"
dividend reinvestment plan financial
"subject to a qualifying dividend reinvestment plan. DEs are credited to the reporting"
A dividend reinvestment plan lets shareholders automatically use cash dividends to buy more shares of the same company instead of receiving the money. It matters to investors because it turns regular payouts into a steady way to grow ownership and take advantage of compound returns—like having your savings automatically buy additional slices of a pie over time—while often reducing transaction costs and smoothing purchase timing.
