Restricted Stock Units financial
"The Restricted Stock Units are immediately 100% vested and will be subject to mandatory deferral"
Restricted stock units are a type of company reward where employees are promised shares of stock, but they only fully own these shares after meeting certain conditions, like staying with the company for a set time. They matter because they can become valuable assets and are often used to motivate employees to help the company succeed.
Phantom Stock Units financial
"The phantom stock units were accrued under the Zimmer Biomet Holdings, Inc. Deferred Compensation Plan"
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 Non-Employee Directors financial
"accrued under the Zimmer Biomet Holdings, Inc. Deferred Compensation Plan for Non-Employee Directors"
dividend reinvestment provision financial
"phantom stock units accrued on April 30, 2026 under the dividend reinvestment provision"
A dividend reinvestment provision is a company policy that lets shareholders automatically use their cash dividends to buy more shares instead of receiving money. Think of it like a subscription that turns each payday into buying an extra slice of the same pie; it helps investors compound their holdings over time, often with lower transaction costs and sometimes at a small discount, which can boost long‑term returns and subtly change ownership percentages.
mandatory deferral financial
"Restricted Stock Units granted in prior years that are subject to different mandatory deferral periods"
