Deferred Stock Units financial

"The Deferred Stock Units convert to shares of Common Stock on a one-for-one basis"

Deferred stock units are promises from a company to give an employee shares of stock at a future date, often after certain conditions are met or after leaving the company. They function like a form of delayed compensation, allowing employees to earn shares over time. For investors, they represent potential future ownership in the company, but do not provide immediate voting rights or dividends until the shares are actually received.

Omnibus Stock Incentive Plan financial

"issued under The Home Depot, Inc. Omnibus Stock Incentive Plan, as amended and restated May 19, 2022"

NonEmployee Directors' Deferred Stock Compensation Plan financial

"as described in The Home Depot, Inc. NonEmployee Directors' Deferred Stock Compensation Plan"

restricted shares financial

"The restricted shares were issued under The Home Depot, Inc. Omnibus Stock Incentive Plan"

Restricted shares are company stock that cannot be sold or transferred immediately because they are subject to legal or contractual limits, such as a required holding period or performance conditions. They matter to investors because these locked-up shares can affect a company’s available stock for trading, future dilution, and insider incentives—imagine a gift that can’t be cashed until certain conditions are met, which changes when and how much supply can suddenly enter the market.
