stock appreciation rights financial
"The stock appreciation rights issued pursuant to the Fifth Amended and Restated Hyatt Hotels Corporation Long-Term Incentive Plan"
Stock appreciation rights (SARs) are a form of employee compensation that give the holder the right to receive the increase in a company's stock price over a set baseline, paid in cash or shares, without having to buy the stock. For investors, SARs matter because they can create future cash outflows or share dilution and signal how a company rewards and motivates executives — similar to giving a bonus tied directly to how well the company’s stock performs.
weighted average price financial
"The price reported in Column 4 is a weighted average price. These shares were sold in multiple transactions"
Weighted average price is the average price of a security where each trade or component is counted according to its size, so bigger trades pull the average more than smaller ones. Think of it like calculating the average cost of a grocery haul where items you bought more of have greater influence on the final per-item cost. Investors use it to understand the true average price paid or received, judge execution quality, and compare trading performance against market movement.
disposition to issuer financial
"transaction_action": "issuer disposition", "transaction_code_description": "Disposition to issuer""
Long-Term Incentive Plan financial
"issued 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.
