deferred compensation arrangement financial

"pursuant to the Titan International, Inc. deferred compensation arrangement"

rabbi trust financial

"a rabbi trust established to assist the Issuer"

A rabbi trust is a special account a company sets up to hold promised future pay for executives, like bonus or retirement money, so those employees can see there are funds earmarked for them. It matters to investors because it signals the company’s commitment to keep key people, but the money is still part of the company’s assets and can be claimed by creditors if the company goes bankrupt—think of it as a labeled jar that isn’t completely off-limits.

vesting and payment terms financial

"in accordance with the vesting and payment terms of the arrangement"
