Restricted Stock Unit financial
"Acquisition of common stock upon vesting and settlement of restricted stock units (RSUs)."
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.
dividend equivalent units financial
"and dividend equivalent units automatically issued thereon (each an "RSU" and collectively, "RSUs")."
Dividend equivalent units are bookkeeping credits that mirror cash dividends paid on actual shares, granted to holders of stock-based awards such as restricted stock units or deferred compensation. They matter to investors because they increase a company’s reported employee compensation cost and can lead to issuance of more shares or cash payouts over time, similar to extra pay linked to ownership that affects shareholder dilution and corporate cash flow.
Equity and Incentive Plan financial
"granted pursuant to the Zoetis Inc. Amended and Restated 2013 Equity and Incentive Plan"
contingent right financial
"Each restricted stock unit represents a contingent right to receive one share of Zoetis Inc. common stock."
