Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Nucor Corp Executive Vice President Daniel R. Needham acquired 1,425.9 common stock units as a compensation-related award. The units were credited at a reference price of $169.47 per share after he elected to defer a portion of his cash award under the company’s annual incentive plan.

Insights

Equity compensation analyst

Routine deferred stock award; modest size relative to existing holdings.

Daniel R. Needham, Executive Vice President at Nucor Corp, elected to defer part of his annual cash incentive into 1,425.9 common stock units at a reference price of $169.47. This is coded as an acquisition via grant/award, not an open-market purchase.

The units vest immediately but pay out only after retirement, with 10% in year two and 30% in each of years three, four, and five. After this grant, he directly holds 94,873.27 shares, so the award is incremental to an already substantial position and appears to be standard long-term incentive design.
