Equity Incentive Plan financial
"Second Amended and Restated Marriott Vacations Worldwide Corporation 2020 Equity Incentive Plan"
An equity incentive plan is a program that gives employees, executives or directors the right to receive company stock or options to buy stock as part of their pay. Think of it as offering slices of future company profit to motivate people to boost long‑term performance; for investors it matters because it can align employee goals with shareholder value but also increases the number of shares outstanding, which can dilute existing ownership.
golden parachute financial
"modifies the treatment of awards for purposes of the “golden parachute” tax provisions"
An executive severance package that guarantees large cash, stock, or benefit payments if top managers lose their job or face major changes in control, such as a takeover. Like a financial parachute that cushions a fall, it matters to investors because it can increase the cost of acquisitions, influence management’s willingness to accept or resist buyout offers, and affect company cash flow and shareholder value.
