Phantom Stock Units financial
"The phantom stock units were accrued under the Zimmer Biomet Holdings, Inc. Deferred Compensation Plan for Non-Employee Directors."
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
"The phantom stock units were accrued under the Zimmer Biomet Holdings, Inc. Deferred Compensation Plan for Non-Employee Directors."
dividend reinvestment provision financial
"Includes 4.508 phantom stock units accrued on January 30, 2026 under the dividend reinvestment provision of the Zimmer Biomet Holdings, Inc. Deferred Compensation Plan for Non-Employee Directors."
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.
