dividend equivalents financial
"Dividend equivalents awarded pursuant to outstanding restricted stock unit awards"
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
"pursuant to outstanding restricted stock unit awards previously granted"
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.
Long-Term Incentive Plan financial
"previously granted under the CDW Corporation Long-Term Incentive Plan"
A long-term incentive plan is a company program that pays executives or employees with stock, options, or cash tied to multi-year performance goals, where the rewards become theirs only after meeting conditions over time. Think of it as a delayed bonus or retirement-style reward that aligns employees’ interests with shareholders by encouraging them to boost long-term value; investors watch these plans because they affect pay costs, share dilution and management incentives.
