Restricted Share Unit financial
"The dividend equivalent rights accrued on the reporting person's restricted share unit award"
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.
dividend equivalent rights financial
"The dividend equivalent rights accrued on the reporting person's restricted share unit award"
Dividend equivalent rights are promises that mirror the cash payments shareholders get from a company’s profits, but they are paid to holders of certain awards (like stock options or restricted stock units) rather than to actual shares. Think of them as a paycheck top‑up that matches dividends while the award is not yet a real stock, and they matter to investors because they add to employee compensation costs and potential share dilution, affecting company profitability and per‑share value.
Non-Qualified Deferred Savings Plan financial
"Represents dividends acquired pursuant to the Willis Towers Watson Non-Qualified Deferred Savings Plan for U.S. Employees"
Non-Qualified Stable Value Excess Plan financial
"Vested shares under the Willis Towers Watson Non-Qualified Stable Value Excess Plan for U.S. Employees settle for Ordinary Shares"
Revocable Trust financial
"Ordinary Shares ... total shares following transaction 19048.6318 ... nature_of_ownership: Revocable Trust"
A revocable trust is a legal arrangement where the person who creates it keeps control and can change or cancel the trust at any time, while naming who will manage and receive the assets later. Think of it like a flexible folder for your investments and property that can be relabeled or reworked as circumstances change; it matters to investors because it determines how ownership is recorded, how easily assets transfer on incapacity or death, and whether holdings bypass public probate proceedings.
