restricted stock units financial
"Vesting of restricted stock units previously granted under The Walt Disney Company's Amended and Restated 2011 Stock Incentive Plan."
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.
dividend equivalents financial
"Includes dividend equivalents accrued on the award."
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.

"represent an automatic reduction of shares issued ... to discharge withholding tax obligations of reporting person"
