What does a dividend equivalent on restricted stock units mean for Sonoco (SON) insiders?

A dividend equivalent on restricted stock units gives insiders economic value equal to Sonoco’s dividends without immediate share delivery. Each unit matches one common share economically and is typically settled later, such as at retirement or service termination, aligning compensation with shareholder returns.

What was the reference price on the Sonoco (SON) CFO’s dividend equivalent grant?

The reported transaction used a reference price of $53.29 per unit for the 26.5 dividend equivalents. This price helps quantify the award’s value but does not represent an open-market trade, since the units are a deferred compensation grant tied to restricted stock.
