Deferred Stock Units financial
"This transaction relates to the grant of Deferred Stock Units."
Deferred stock units are promises from a company to give an employee shares of stock at a future date, often after certain conditions are met or after leaving the company. They function like a form of delayed compensation, allowing employees to earn shares over time. For investors, they represent potential future ownership in the company, but do not provide immediate voting rights or dividends until the shares are actually received.

"Represents fair market value RWT common stock on the grant date under the 2014 Incentive Award Plan."
Deferral Election financial
"will be delivered to the Participant at the time provided in the Deferral Election but no sooner than May 20, 2029."
fair market value financial
"Represents fair market value RWT common stock on the grant date under the 2014 Incentive Award Plan."
The price a willing buyer and a willing seller would agree on for an asset or security when neither is under pressure and both have access to the same information. Think of it as the market’s neutral estimate of what something is worth, like the price two neighbors would settle on for a car after comparing similar listings. Investors care because fair market value guides buying and selling decisions, tax reporting, portfolio valuation, and how accurately company assets are reflected in financial statements.
