Deferred Compensation Plan financial
"Includes shares acquired pursuant to a dividend reinvestment feature of the Avient Corporation Deferred Compensation Plan for Non-Employee Directors."
A deferred compensation plan is an arrangement where an employer agrees to pay part of an employee’s pay or bonus at a later date instead of immediately, often to reduce current tax bills or to tie rewards to long-term performance. For investors it matters because these promises create future cash obligations and influence executive incentives and retention; they can affect a company’s reported liabilities, cash flow planning and the risk profile if the business faces financial trouble.
dividend reinvestment financial
"Includes shares acquired pursuant to a dividend reinvestment feature of the Avient Corporation Deferred Compensation Plan for Non-Employee Directors."
Dividend reinvestment is when the money earned from a company's profit sharing, called dividends, is automatically used to buy more shares of that company instead of being received as cash. This process helps investors grow their holdings over time without extra effort, much like using earned interest to buy more of a savings account. It encourages long-term investment growth by continuously increasing the amount of shares owned.
Grant, award, or other acquisition financial
"transaction_code_description: Grant, award, or other acquisition"
Non-Employee Directors financial
"Avient Corporation Deferred Compensation Plan for Non-Employee Directors."
Non-employee directors are board members who do not work for the company as salaried employees and usually do not hold day-to-day management roles. They act like outside referees or independent coaches, providing oversight, asking tough questions, and protecting shareholders’ interests; investors care because these directors help ensure management is accountable, reduce conflicts of interest, and influence decisions that affect company strategy and long-term value.
