4 terms

Restricted Stock Unit financial

"Represents restricted stock units granted pursuant to the Zoetis Inc. Amended and Restated 2013 Equity and Incentive Plan"

A restricted stock unit is a promise from a company to give an employee shares of stock after certain conditions are met, like staying with the company for a set amount of time. It’s like earning a bonus that turns into company stock once you’ve proven your commitment, making it a way to motivate and reward employees.

tax-withholding disposition financial

"Payment of exercise price or tax liability by delivering securities"

A tax-withholding disposition is an event or transaction—such as selling or transferring securities, exercising options, or receiving compensation—that triggers a requirement to hold back part of the payment and remit it to tax authorities. It matters to investors because it reduces the cash they receive immediately and can change the timing and amount of taxable income, like a cashier taking a portion of your sale proceeds to pay taxes before you get the rest.

Zoetis Inc. Savings Plan financial

"Represents the common stock equivalents held in the Zoetis Inc. Savings Plan, a 401(k) plan"

dividend equivalent units financial

"and dividend equivalent units automatically issued thereon (each an "RSU" and collectively, "RSUs")"
