dividend equivalents financial
"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"
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.
deferred shares financial
"Represents additional deferred shares acquired through the reinvestment of dividends paid on deferred shares credited to the reporting person's account"
Deferred shares are a class of stock whose economic benefits or certain shareholder rights are delayed or paid later than ordinary shares—for example, dividends may be paid only after other shareholders receive theirs, or voting or redemption rights may be postponed. For investors, that timing difference matters because deferred shares typically offer lower near-term income and different risk, affecting expected returns, priority in payouts, and the share’s market value; think of them like a delayed paycheck compared with a regular salary.
restricted stock units financial
"the number of shares reflects the credit of such dividend equivalents to the reporting person's account under the RSU Deferral Plan"
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.

FAQ

What did SWK director Michael David Hankin report in this Form 4?

Michael David Hankin reported stock-based awards, not market trades. He received 146.0158 common shares and additional deferred shares credited under non-employee director compensation and deferral plans, all structured to settle in STANLEY BLACK & DECKER common stock at future dates.

How many STANLEY BLACK & DECKER common shares does Hankin hold after these awards?

After these awards, Hankin directly holds 17,180.797 STANLEY BLACK & DECKER common shares. This figure reflects his position following the 146.0158-share common stock grant reported on the Form 4, providing context for the scale of the reported compensation-related transactions.

What are deferred shares and RSUs in the SWK non-employee director plans?

Deferred shares and RSUs are stock-based units that convert into common shares later. Under SWK’s RSU Deferral Plan and Deferred Compensation Plan, directors accrue units from fee deferrals and dividend equivalents, which are settled in shares of common stock according to each director’s deferral elections.

Did Hankin buy or sell SWK shares on the open market in this filing?

The filing shows no open-market purchases or sales. All three transactions are coded “A” for grants or awards, representing compensation-related acquisitions of common and deferred shares under company plans, rather than discretionary buying or selling in the public market.

What is the role of dividends in Hankin’s deferred share balances at SWK?

Dividends increase Hankin’s deferred share balances. Dividend equivalents on deferred RSUs and reinvested dividends on deferred shares are credited as additional stock units, each entitling him to one STANLEY BLACK & DECKER common share upon settlement under the applicable deferral plan terms.
