Restricted Stock Units financial
"Restricted stock units convert into common stock on a one-for-one basis."
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 Equivalent Rights financial
"Settlement of dividend equivalent rights in connection with vesting of restricted stock unit."
Dividend equivalent rights are promises that mirror the cash payments shareholders get from a company’s profits, but they are paid to holders of certain awards (like stock options or restricted stock units) rather than to actual shares. Think of them as a paycheck top‑up that matches dividends while the award is not yet a real stock, and they matter to investors because they add to employee compensation costs and potential share dilution, affecting company profitability and per‑share value.
Long-Term Performance Incentive Plan financial
"Time-based restricted stock units granted under the Company's Long-Term Performance Incentive Plan to Quaker Houghton's non-management directors."
time-based restricted stock units financial
"On June 1, 2025, the reporting person was granted time-based restricted stock units that vested 100% on May 31, 2026."
