dividend equivalents financial

"as a result of dividend equivalents credited"

Payments tied to employee or contractor equity awards that mirror the cash dividends paid on the company’s stock; they give the holder the same economic benefit as owning the shares without transferring actual shares—often paid in cash or additional award units when the award becomes payable. Investors care because these payments affect a company’s compensation costs, cash flow and potential share dilution, and they signal how management is being rewarded and aligned with shareholders.

deferral election financial

"terms and conditions of the Reporting Person's deferral election"

Non-Employee Directors' Equity Award Deferral Program financial

"units granted under the Ventas, Inc. Non-Employee Directors' Equity Award Deferral Program"

2022 Incentive Plan financial

"adopted pursuant to the Ventas, Inc. 2022 Incentive Plan"

A 2022 incentive plan is a formal program adopted in 2022 that outlines how a company will reward employees, executives, or directors with cash, stock, or other benefits tied to performance or continued service. Investors care because these plans can change how much ownership exists (dilution), affect reported profits through compensation costs, and influence whether managers are motivated to increase long‑term value—think of it as the rules for a company’s bonus and stock‑award system.
