Deferred Stock Units financial
"The reported transaction reflects the award of additional Deferred Stock Units under Broadridge's 2018 Omnibus Award Plan"
Deferred stock units are promises from a company to give an employee shares of stock at a future date, often after certain conditions are met or after leaving the company. They function like a form of delayed compensation, allowing employees to earn shares over time. For investors, they represent potential future ownership in the company, but do not provide immediate voting rights or dividends until the shares are actually received.

"Deferred Stock Units under Broadridge's 2018 Omnibus Award Plan in connection with the payment of Broadridge's regular quarterly dividend"
Director Deferred Compensation Program financial
"Deferred Stock Units previously issued in lieu of cash compensation under the Director Deferred Compensation Program"
A director deferred compensation program is an arrangement that lets a company delay paying part of a board member’s fees or bonuses until a future date, often at retirement or after leaving the board. It matters to investors because it affects a company’s long‑term cash commitments and executive incentives—like a timed savings plan that can align directors’ decisions with the company’s future performance while creating future liabilities on the balance sheet.
