4 terms
deferred compensation account financial
"represents the right to receive one common share upon distribution from the deferred compensation account"
long-term incentive plan financial
"Shares awarded pursuant to a long-term incentive plan of The Kroger Co."
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.
Independent Director financial
"following termination of the reporting person's services as an Independent Director of The Kroger Co."
An independent director is a member of a company's board of directors who is not involved in the company's day-to-day operations and has no significant relationships with the company that could influence their judgment. Their role is to provide unbiased oversight and ensure the company is managed in the best interests of all shareholders. This helps build trust and confidence among investors by promoting transparency and accountability.
