Restricted stock units financial
"Restricted stock units were awarded on June 11, 2024, pursuant to TDS' Long Term Incentive 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.
Long Term Incentive Plan financial
"Restricted stock units were awarded on June 11, 2024, pursuant to TDS' Long Term Incentive Plan."
A long term incentive plan is a company program that awards executives and key employees bonuses—often in stock, options, or cash—only if the business meets multi-year performance goals. It links management pay to company results—like tying a coach’s bonus to a team’s multi-season record—so investors monitor it for how leaders are motivated, potential share dilution, and signals about the company’s long-term priorities.
dividend reinvestment financial
"Includes 312,242 Common Shares held through dividend reinvestment."
Dividend reinvestment is when the money earned from a company's profit sharing, called dividends, is automatically used to buy more shares of that company instead of being received as cash. This process helps investors grow their holdings over time without extra effort, much like using earned interest to buy more of a savings account. It encourages long-term investment growth by continuously increasing the amount of shares owned.
voting trust financial
"Reporting person is a member of a voting trust which is record owner of these Common Shares"
A voting trust is an arrangement where shareholders temporarily transfer their voting rights to one or more trusted individuals (trustees) who vote on company matters on their behalf. It matters to investors because it consolidates decision-making power—like handing the car keys to a single driver for a journey—which can stabilize leadership or push through strategic plans but also reduces individual shareholders’ direct influence and can affect the company’s direction and stock value.
family partnership financial
"Includes 693,751 Common Shares held by a family partnership of which reporting person is a general partner"
