Dividend equivalents financial
"Dividend equivalents awarded pursuant to outstanding restricted stock unit awards previously granted under the CDW Corporation Long-Term 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 unit awards financial
"Dividend equivalents awarded pursuant to outstanding restricted stock unit awards previously granted under the CDW Corporation Long-Term Incentive Plan."
Restricted stock unit awards are company promises to deliver a specific number of shares to employees or service providers in the future once conditions—such as staying with the company for a set time or meeting performance targets—are met. They matter to investors because when the promises convert into actual shares they increase the total share count and can reduce earnings per share, while also aligning recipients’ interests with stock performance much like deferred pay that turns into ownership if goals are met.

"previously granted under the CDW Corporation Long-Term Incentive Plan."
Form 4 regulatory
"which were inadvertently omitted from the Form 4 filed on March 12, 2026."

This information can influence investor decisions by revealing insiders' perspectives on the company's value.
