"The reporting person acquired these stock units under the RTX Corporation Board of Directors Deferred Stock Unit Plan"
Deferred Stock Unit Plan financial
"under the RTX Corporation Board of Directors Deferred Stock Unit Plan (the "Plan")"
A deferred stock unit plan grants employees or executives hypothetical share units that convert into actual shares or cash at a future date, often after meeting conditions like continued employment or retirement. It matters to investors because it ties pay to long-term performance and creates a future claim on the company’s stock or cash, which can dilute existing shareholders or signal management’s confidence in future value — like a delayed bonus paid in ownership.
