Rhea-AI Filing Summary

LPL Financial Holdings Inc. director Thomas Corey E. reported equity awards of common stock units granted on May 15, 2026. The filing shows two acquisitions of stock units, for 348 and 712 units, at no cash cost, each unit representing the right to receive one share of common stock.

The awards were granted under LPL’s 2021 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan and are linked to the non-employee director annual retainer. One grant is scheduled to vest in full on May 20, 2027, while the other is fully vested. Both grants are subject to deferral elections under the Non-Employee Director Deferred Compensation Plan, meaning receipt of the related shares or cash is deferred according to the director’s elections.

"Each stock unit represents the right to receive one share of common stock and is scheduled to vest in full on May 20, 2027."
Stock units are individual pieces of ownership in a company, like slices of a pie that together make up the whole business. They matter to investors because each unit represents a claim on the company’s assets, profits and sometimes voting power, and changes in the number or value of these units affect ownership percentages, potential dividends and share dilution — all of which influence an investment’s worth.
