Restricted Share Unit financial
"Security title listed as Restricted Share Unit in the insider transaction table."
A restricted share unit (RSU) is a promise by a company to give an employee a set number of company shares at a future date, typically after meeting time or performance conditions. For investors, RSUs matter because when they convert into actual shares they increase the number of shares outstanding (like unlocking more tickets in a game), which can dilute existing holders, and they align employee incentives with company performance, influencing behavior and long-term value.
Non-Qualified Deferred Savings Plan financial
"acquired pursuant to the Willis Towers Watson Non-Qualified Deferred Savings Plan for U.S. Employees."
deferral election financial
"including the participant's deferral election under the Plan and the Company's matching contribution."
nominal value financial
"Ordinary Shares, nominal value $0.000304635 per share, underlie the restricted share units."
Nominal value is the stated or face amount assigned to a financial instrument — for shares it’s the par value printed on the stock certificate, and for money or returns it can mean the number not adjusted for inflation. Think of it like a price tag on an item versus its buying power: the tag tells you the label, but not how much you can actually buy. Investors care because nominal values affect accounting, legal capital, dividend calculations and comparisons over time when inflation may distort real worth.
