performance share units financial
"Represents shares issued upon the vesting of performance share units in connection with the attainment of certain performance goals"
Performance share units are a type of company stock award given to employees that depend on the company meeting specific goals or targets. If these goals are achieved, the employee receives shares or the value of shares; if not, they may receive little or no compensation. This aligns employees’ interests with the company's success and encourages performance that benefits investors.
tax-withholding disposition financial
"transaction_action": "tax-withholding disposition","transaction_code_description": "Payment of exercise price or tax liability by delivering securities"
A tax-withholding disposition is an event or transaction—such as selling or transferring securities, exercising options, or receiving compensation—that triggers a requirement to hold back part of the payment and remit it to tax authorities. It matters to investors because it reduces the cash they receive immediately and can change the timing and amount of taxable income, like a cashier taking a portion of your sale proceeds to pay taxes before you get the rest.
grant/award acquisition financial
"transaction_action": "grant/award acquisition","transaction_code_description": "Grant, award, or other acquisition"
Long-Term Incentive Plan financial
"pursuant to the Fifth Amended and Restated Hyatt Hotels Corporation Long-Term Incentive Plan, as amended (the "LTIP")"
A long-term incentive plan is a company program that pays executives or employees with stock, options, or cash tied to multi-year performance goals, where the rewards become theirs only after meeting conditions over time. Think of it as a delayed bonus or retirement-style reward that aligns employees’ interests with shareholders by encouraging them to boost long-term value; investors watch these plans because they affect pay costs, share dilution and management incentives.
