Restricted Stock Units financial
"The shares acquired were earned under the Conagra Brands fiscal year 2024-2026 long term incentive plan"
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.
dividend equivalents financial
"and include dividend equivalents paid in additional shares of common stock on the earned amount"
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.
long term incentive plan financial
"earned under the Conagra Brands fiscal year 2024-2026 long term incentive plan"
A long term incentive plan is a company program that awards executives and key employees bonuses—often in stock, options, or cash—only if the business meets multi-year performance goals. It links management pay to company results—like tying a coach’s bonus to a team’s multi-season record—so investors monitor it for how leaders are motivated, potential share dilution, and signals about the company’s long-term priorities.
withheld for taxes financial
"Shares withheld for taxes"
contingent right financial
"Each restricted stock unit represents a contingent right to receive one share"
