Dividend equivalents financial
"Dividend equivalents convert into common stock on a one-for-one basis."
Payments tied to employee or contractor equity awards that mirror the cash dividends paid on the company’s stock; they give the holder the same economic benefit as owning the shares without transferring actual shares—often paid in cash or additional award units when the award becomes payable. Investors care because these payments affect a company’s compensation costs, cash flow and potential share dilution, and they signal how management is being rewarded and aligned with shareholders.
restricted stock units financial
"The dividend equivalents accrued on restricted stock units that vested/vest as to 1/3 on March 1, 2026"
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-based restricted stock units ("PSUs") financial
"The dividend equivalents accrued on performance-based restricted stock units ("PSUs") that vest based on Match Group, Inc.'s common stock achieving certain specified prices"
continued service financial
"every three months thereafter, subject to continued service. The dividend equivalents vest proportionately"
