3 terms

MetLife Deferred Compensation Plan for Non-Management Directors financial

"Imputed reinvestment of dividends on deferred shares pursuant to the MetLife Deferred Compensation Plan for Non-Management Directors."

deferred shares financial

"Deferred shares represent shares of MetLife, Inc. common stock that have become payable, but receipt of which the director has deferred."

Deferred shares are a class of stock whose economic benefits or certain shareholder rights are delayed or paid later than ordinary shares—for example, dividends may be paid only after other shareholders receive theirs, or voting or redemption rights may be postponed. For investors, that timing difference matters because deferred shares typically offer lower near-term income and different risk, affecting expected returns, priority in payouts, and the share’s market value; think of them like a delayed paycheck compared with a regular salary.

imputed reinvestment of dividends financial

"Imputed reinvestment of dividends on deferred shares pursuant to the MetLife Deferred Compensation Plan for Non-Management Directors."
