3 terms

Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation Plan financial

"Common Shares held in the LSI Industries Inc. Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation Plan"

An arrangement where an employer agrees to pay part of an employee’s salary or bonus at a later date, often to attract or keep key staff. Think of it as a company IOU or a delayed paycheck held on the company’s books rather than in a protected retirement account; investors care because these promises create future cash obligations that are typically unsecured and depend on the company’s financial health, affecting risk, liabilities, and cash-flow planning.

restricted stock units financial

"payment of taxes upon vesting of restricted stock units and performance"

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.

performance share units financial

"payment of taxes upon vesting of restricted stock units and performance"

Performance share units are a type of company stock award given to employees that depend on the company meeting specific goals or targets. If these goals are achieved, the employee receives shares or the value of shares; if not, they may receive little or no compensation. This aligns employees’ interests with the company's success and encourages performance that benefits investors.
