Restricted Stock Units (RSUs) financial
"Represents additional Restricted Stock Units (RSUs) accrued as dividends on outstanding RSU awards"
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.
Performance Shares ("PSUs") financial
"Reflects dividend equivalents received on earned Performance Shares ("PSUs") in accordance with the 2021 Stock Incentive Plan"
Deferred Compensation Plan financial
"A portion of the Restricted Stock Units are held under the Company's Deferred Compensation Plan"
A deferred compensation plan is an arrangement where an employer agrees to pay part of an employee’s pay or bonus at a later date instead of immediately, often to reduce current tax bills or to tie rewards to long-term performance. For investors it matters because these promises create future cash obligations and influence executive incentives and retention; they can affect a company’s reported liabilities, cash flow planning and the risk profile if the business faces financial trouble.
dividend equivalents financial
"Reflects dividend equivalents received on earned Performance Shares ("PSUs") in accordance with the Republic Services, Inc. 2021 Stock Incentive Plan"
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.
