- F1. Under the Stanley Black & Decker, Inc. 2020 Restricted Stock Unit Deferral Plan for Non-Employee Directors (the "RSU Deferral Plan"), each director's account is credited with dividend equivalents on the deferred restricted stock units when the Company pays cash dividends on its common stock (including special dividends, if any), and such dividend equivalents are denominated in additional restricted stock units based on the average of the high and low price per share on the New York Stock Exchange on the payment date applicable to such dividend. The number of shares reflects the credit of such dividend equivalents to the reporting person's account under the RSU Deferral Plan, which will be settled in accordance with the deferral election made by the reporting person applicable to the underlying deferred restricted stock units.
- F2. Represents deferred shares acquired pursuant to the Stanley Black & Decker Deferred Compensation Plan for Non-Employee Directors (the "Deferred Compensation Plan") as a result of the deferral of quarterly director fees paid in cash to the reporting person. Each deferred share entitles the holder thereof to receive one share of common stock upon settlement. The deferred shares credited to the reporting person's account under the Deferred Compensation Plan, including any additional deferred shares acquired through dividend reinvestment, will be settled in one lump sum payment of common stock on December 15 immediately following the date on which the reporting person ceases to be a member of the Board of Directors.
- F3. Represents additional deferred shares acquired through the reinvestment of dividends paid on deferred shares credited to the reporting person's account under the Deferred Compensation Plan. Each deferred share entitles the holder thereof to receive one share of common stock upon settlement. Such deferred shares will be settled in accordance with the deferral election made by the reporting person applicable to the underlying deferred shares.

RSU Deferral Plan financial
"under the RSU Deferral Plan"
Deferred Compensation Plan financial
"pursuant to the Deferred Compensation Plan"
A deferred compensation plan is an arrangement where an employer agrees to pay part of an employee’s pay or bonus at a later date instead of immediately, often to reduce current tax bills or to tie rewards to long-term performance. For investors it matters because these promises create future cash obligations and influence executive incentives and retention; they can affect a company’s reported liabilities, cash flow planning and the risk profile if the business faces financial trouble.
dividend equivalents financial
"the account is credited with dividend equivalents"
Payments tied to employee or contractor equity awards that mirror the cash dividends paid on the company’s stock; they give the holder the same economic benefit as owning the shares without transferring actual shares—often paid in cash or additional award units when the award becomes payable. Investors care because these payments affect a company’s compensation costs, cash flow and potential share dilution, and they signal how management is being rewarded and aligned with shareholders.
