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.
Long-Term Incentive Plan financial
"Dividend equivalents are acquired pursuant to a dividend investment 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.
non-forfeitable financial
"Shares become free of restrictions and non-forfeitable on the earliest of: (i) May 12, 2027, (ii) death, (iii) disability, (iv) retirement or (v) resignation with the consent of the Board of Directors."
