deferred share units financial

"Represents deferred share units of the Issuer awarded pursuant to the Hilton Amended and Restated 2017 Omnibus Incentive Plan."

Deferred share units are promises that give an executive or director the right to receive company shares or their cash value at a future date, often when they retire or leave the company. Think of them as a paycheck held in a savings account that converts into stock later; they matter to investors because they tie pay to long-term performance, create potential future dilution of shares, and represent a delayed cash or share obligation the company must eventually fulfill.

Hilton Amended and Restated 2017 Omnibus Incentive Plan financial

"Represents deferred share units of the Issuer awarded pursuant to the Hilton Amended and Restated 2017 Omnibus Incentive Plan."

fully vested financial

"Each deferred share unit represents one share of Issuer common stock and is fully vested."

change in control financial

"The underlying shares will be issued to the reporting person upon the earliest to occur of a (i) termination of service as a director, (ii) a change in control of the Issuer, and (iii) the second anniversary of the grant date."

A "change in control" occurs when the ownership or management of a company shifts significantly, such as through a merger, acquisition, or sale of a large part of its assets. This change can impact how the company is run and may influence its future direction. For investors, it matters because it can affect the company's stability, strategy, and value, often signaling potential changes in investment risk or opportunity.
