Long-Term Incentive Units financial
"Long-Term Incentive Units are profits interest units in Digital Realty Trust, L.P."
profits interest units financial
"Profits interest units may initially not have full parity with common limited partnership units"
Common Units financial
"Vested profits interest units that have achieved full parity with Common Units may be converted"
Common units are the basic ownership stakes in a company, limited partnership, or trust that function like common stock: they give holders a claim on profits and often voting rights. Think of them as the ordinary seats at a table—the most directly affected by the business’s success or failure, so they typically offer higher upside but carry greater risk than preferred claims or creditors, which matters to investors evaluating potential return and safety.
liquidating distributions financial
"may initially not have full parity with common limited partnership units ... with respect to liquidating distributions"
Payments made to shareholders from a company’s remaining cash or asset sale proceeds when the business is being wound up or reorganized. Like splitting the money after selling a shared house, these distributions return investors’ capital (often after creditors are paid) rather than representing regular profit payouts, so they matter because they determine how much investors recover and can affect tax treatment and final investment value.
annual meeting of stockholders financial
"Awards vest on the earlier of the first anniversary of the grant date or ... the next annual meeting of stockholders"
