Restricted Stock Units (RSUs) financial
"The filing reports 3,500 Restricted Stock Units (RSUs) that were exercised into common stock."
Restricted stock units (RSUs) are a type of company promise to give employees shares of stock in the future, usually after certain conditions like working for a set time. They are like a gift promised today that you receive later, which can become valuable if the company's stock price goes up. RSUs matter because they are a way companies reward employees and can be a significant part of compensation.
tax-withholding disposition financial
"The transaction code F is described as a tax-withholding disposition to cover liabilities."
A tax-withholding disposition is an event or transaction—such as selling or transferring securities, exercising options, or receiving compensation—that triggers a requirement to hold back part of the payment and remit it to tax authorities. It matters to investors because it reduces the cash they receive immediately and can change the timing and amount of taxable income, like a cashier taking a portion of your sale proceeds to pay taxes before you get the rest.
derivative security financial
"Code M is described as an exercise or conversion of a derivative security."
A derivative security is a financial contract whose value comes from the price or performance of something else, such as a stock, bond, commodity, or market index. For investors it acts like an insurance policy or a wager: it can be used to protect against losses, lock in prices, or amplify gains and losses, so it can change a portfolio’s risk and potential return without owning the underlying asset directly.
401(k) Retirement Savings Plan financial
"Indirect ownership is reported through the McKesson Corporation 401(k) Retirement Savings Plan."
