"acquired 6.356 shares in the Nicolet National Bank Deferred Compensation Plan for Non-employee Directors"
dividend reinvestment financial
"Includes 20.386 shares received as dividend reinvestment in the Nicolet National Bank Deferred Compensation Plan"
Dividend reinvestment is when the money earned from a company's profit sharing, called dividends, is automatically used to buy more shares of that company instead of being received as cash. This process helps investors grow their holdings over time without extra effort, much like using earned interest to buy more of a savings account. It encourages long-term investment growth by continuously increasing the amount of shares owned.
cash dividend financial
"from Nicolet Bankshares, Inc. paid cash dividend on March 16, 2026"
A cash dividend is a payment made by a company to its shareholders directly in money, usually on a regular schedule. It is a way for investors to receive a portion of the company's profits, similar to earning interest or a bonus for holding the company's stock. Cash dividends provide income to shareholders and can indicate the company's financial health and stability.
