Restricted Stock Units financial
"The Restricted Stock Units (units) reported were awarded to the reporting person for service as a director for the 2026-2027 service year."
Restricted stock units are a type of company reward where employees are promised shares of stock, but they only fully own these shares after meeting certain conditions, like staying with the company for a set time. They matter because they can become valuable assets and are often used to motivate employees to help the company succeed.
Dividend equivalents financial
"The total amount reported includes previously credited dividend equivalents."
Payments tied to employee or contractor equity awards that mirror the cash dividends paid on the company’s stock; they give the holder the same economic benefit as owning the shares without transferring actual shares—often paid in cash or additional award units when the award becomes payable. Investors care because these payments affect a company’s compensation costs, cash flow and potential share dilution, and they signal how management is being rewarded and aligned with shareholders.
dividend reinvestment feature financial
"Dividend equivalents are acquired pursuant to a dividend reinvestment feature of the Company's Long-Term Incentive Plan."
Long-Term Incentive Plan financial
"Dividend equivalents are acquired pursuant to a dividend reinvestment feature of the Company's Long-Term Incentive Plan."
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.
Restricted Stock and Deferred Compensation Plan for Non-Employee Directors financial
"The units held in the Restricted Stock and Deferred Compensation Plan for Non-Employee Directors represent one share of International Paper Company common stock."
