Nonqualified Stock Option financial
"Nonqualified Stock Option (right to buy)"
A nonqualified stock option (NQSO) is a company grant that gives an individual the right to buy shares at a set price but does not meet special tax rules for incentive stock options; when exercised the difference between the market price and the exercise price is treated as ordinary income for the recipient and as a tax-deductible expense for the company. It matters to investors because NQSOs affect an employee’s after-tax proceeds, the company’s reported expenses, and potential share dilution—think of it like a cash bonus that converts into stock but is taxed as regular pay when you take it.
Directors' Deferred Compensation Plan II financial
"received pursuant to the Directors' Deferred Compensation Plan II"
dividend reinvestment financial
"shares acquired through dividend reinvestment"
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.
