deferred compensation financial
"The shares are payable after the reporting person ceases to be a director or otherwise pursuant to the applicable deferral election under the Plan."
Deferred compensation is pay that employees or executives have earned now but will receive at a later date, such as delayed bonuses, retirement benefits, or stock grants. It matters to investors because it creates future obligations and shapes incentives—like a promise to pay later that can affect a company’s reported profits, cash needs and potential stock dilution—so it helps signal how a business manages costs and retains key people.
reinvestment of dividends financial
