Non-Qualified Stock Options financial
"Represents non-qualified stock options issued to reporting person under the Columbus"
Non-qualified stock options are a type of employee benefit that gives individuals the right to buy company shares at a set price, usually lower than the market value, within a certain period. Unlike other options that may have special tax advantages, these options are taxed as income when exercised, which can affect how much money the employee or investor ultimately gains. They are important because they can influence company compensation strategies and impact the financial outcomes for employees and investors.
restricted stock units financial
"Represents restricted stock units issued to reporting person under the Columbus"
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.
Long Term Incentive Plan financial
"under the Columbus McKinnon Corporation 2016 Long Term Incentive Plan as amended"
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.
subject to forfeiture financial
"restricted stock units issued to reporting person ... subject to forfeiture in whole"
dividend reinvestment financial
"Represents additional restricted 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.
