3 terms

Stock Appreciation Right financial

"A Stock Appreciation Right is reported with an exercise price and expiration date."

A stock appreciation right (SAR) is a form of employee pay that gives the holder the right to receive the increase in a company's share price over a set reference price, paid in cash or shares, without having to buy stock first. It matters to investors because SARs can create future cash outflows or dilute existing shareholders if settled in stock, and they align employee incentives with share-price performance like a bonus tied to a home's price rise.

deferred compensation plan financial

"Shares are held in a trust under a director 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.

indirect ownership financial

"The 40-share award is reported as indirect ownership through a trust."
