Directors Deferred Compensation Plan financial
"shares acquired by the reporting person under the HNI Corporation Directors Deferred Compensation Plan."
A directors deferred compensation plan lets a board member postpone receiving part or all of their cash fees or stock-based pay until a future date, often retirement, allowing taxes to be delayed and payouts to be structured over time. Investors care because these plans change a company’s future cash obligations and reveal how the board’s pay is aligned with long-term performance—like choosing to take a paycheck later to tie personal reward to the company’s future results.
