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 financial
"Dividend equivalents awarded pursuant to outstanding restricted stock unit awards previously granted under the CDW Corporation Long-Term Incentive Plan."
A restricted stock unit is a promise from a company to give an employee shares of stock after certain conditions are met, like staying with the company for a set amount of time. It’s like earning a bonus that turns into company stock once you’ve proven your commitment, making it a way to motivate and reward employees.
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.
