Phantom Stock Units financial

"The phantom stock units convert to common stock on a one-for-one basis."

Phantom stock units are company promises that pay a cash or stock-equivalent award tied to the firm’s share price or value growth, but they do not issue actual shares. Think of them as a bonus check that moves with the stock like a mirror rather than handing over an ownership slice. Investors care because these awards can affect a company’s future cash obligations, executive incentives and reported expenses without causing share dilution.

Deferred Compensation Plan for Directors financial

"accrued under the Veris Residential, Inc. Deferred Compensation Plan for Directors"

A deferred compensation plan for directors is an arrangement that lets board members postpone receiving part of their pay until a later date—often retirement or a set future time—so the money can grow or be paid under specified conditions. Think of it like directing a portion of your paycheck into a locked savings account that pays out later; investors care because it creates future cash or stock obligations, signals how the company motivates and retains leadership, and can affect shareholder value through timing of payouts or potential dilution.

change in control financial

"upon a change in control of Veris Residential, Inc."

A "change in control" occurs when the ownership or management of a company shifts significantly, such as through a merger, acquisition, or sale of a large part of its assets. This change can impact how the company is run and may influence its future direction. For investors, it matters because it can affect the company's stability, strategy, and value, often signaling potential changes in investment risk or opportunity.
