Non-Employee Directors' Cash Compensation Deferral Plan financial

"units granted under the Ventas, Inc. Non-Employee Directors' Cash Compensation Deferral Plan"

deferral election financial

"pursuant to the director's deferral election"

grant date financial

"as of the grant date"

The grant date is the day a company formally gives an employee or contractor the right to receive stock-based compensation, such as stock options or restricted shares. It matters to investors because it fixes key terms—like the price, the start of the ownership clock, and when the award will affect the company’s financial statements and share count—so it can influence dilution, reported expenses, and potential future selling pressure.
