4 terms

Dividend Equivalent Units financial

"Consists of dividend equivalent units ("DEUs") accrued on restricted stock units"

restricted stock units financial

"accrued on restricted stock units ("RSUs") previously granted to the Reporting Person"

Restricted stock units are a type of company reward where employees are promised shares of stock, but they only fully own these shares after meeting certain conditions, like staying with the company for a set time. They matter because they can become valuable assets and are often used to motivate employees to help the company succeed.

vesting financial

"The DEUs will vest and be settled on the same terms and conditions"

Vesting is the process by which you earn full ownership of something, like company stock or a retirement benefit, over time. It’s like earning the right to keep a gift piece by piece the longer you stay with a company, making sure employees stay committed before they receive all the benefits.

common stock financial

"Each DEU represents the right to receive, subject to vesting, one share of Sylvamo Corporation common stock"

Common stock represents ownership shares in a company, giving investors a stake in its success and a say in important decisions through voting rights. It is the most common type of stock traded on markets and can provide income through dividends, as well as potential for value growth. For investors, holding common stock means sharing in the company’s profits and risks.
