Key Terms

4 terms

deferred stock unit financial

"Each deferred stock unit is equal in value to one share of Columbus McKinnon Corporation common stock."

A deferred stock unit (DSU) is a promise from a company to give an employee or director the value of a share at a future date, paid in actual shares or cash when certain conditions are met (such as retirement or a set date). Think of it like a gift card that converts to company stock later; it aligns pay with long‑term performance and can affect future share count, compensation expense and potential cash needs, so investors watch DSUs for their impact on dilution and company finances.

dividend reinvestment financial

"Represents additional deferred stock units attributable to dividend reinvestment."

Dividend reinvestment is when the money earned from a company's profit sharing, called dividends, is automatically used to buy more shares of that company instead of being received as cash. This process helps investors grow their holdings over time without extra effort, much like using earned interest to buy more of a savings account. It encourages long-term investment growth by continuously increasing the amount of shares owned.

Deferred Shares financial

"Deferred Shares will be delivered to the reporting person on February 1, 2031, under and subject to the terms of the Plan."

Deferred shares are a class of stock whose economic benefits or certain shareholder rights are delayed or paid later than ordinary shares—for example, dividends may be paid only after other shareholders receive theirs, or voting or redemption rights may be postponed. For investors, that timing difference matters because deferred shares typically offer lower near-term income and different risk, affecting expected returns, priority in payouts, and the share’s market value; think of them like a delayed paycheck compared with a regular salary.

Plan financial

"Deferred Shares will be delivered to the reporting person on February 1, 2032, under and subject to the terms of the Plan."
