withholding tax financial

"to cover the executive's withholding tax associated with the satisfaction"

Withholding tax is a government-required portion of a payment—such as dividends, interest, or salary—that the payer keeps back and sends directly to tax authorities before the recipient receives the money. For investors it reduces the cash they actually get and changes the after-tax return on an investment; rates and refund or credit rules vary by country and can materially affect comparisons between similar investments, like a cashier holding part of a bill to cover taxes.

compound annual growth rates financial

"based on the achievement of certain compound annual growth rates in the price"
