Deferred Compensation Plan financial
"acquired 6.356 shares in the Nicolet National Bank Deferred Compensation Plan for Non-employee Directors"
A deferred compensation plan is an arrangement where an employer agrees to pay part of an employee’s pay or bonus at a later date instead of immediately, often to reduce current tax bills or to tie rewards to long-term performance. For investors it matters because these promises create future cash obligations and influence executive incentives and retention; they can affect a company’s reported liabilities, cash flow planning and the risk profile if the business faces financial trouble.
dividend reinvestment financial
"Includes 20.660 shares received as dividend reinvestment in the Nicolet National Bank Deferred Compensation Plan"
Dividend reinvestment is when the money earned from a company's profit sharing, called dividends, is automatically used to buy more shares of that company instead of being received as cash. This process helps investors grow their holdings over time without extra effort, much like using earned interest to buy more of a savings account. It encourages long-term investment growth by continuously increasing the amount of shares owned.
beneficial ownership financial
"The reporting person disclaims beneficial ownership of registrant common stock held by Colleen Weyers Trust"
Beneficial ownership means the person or entity that actually enjoys the benefits of owning shares or other assets — such as receiving dividends, voting rights, or price gains — even if the legal title is held in another name. For investors it matters because knowing who truly controls and profits from a company reveals who can influence decisions, exposes potential conflicts of interest or hidden concentration of power, and affects transparency and risk in the stock.
pecuniary interest financial
"disclaims beneficial ownership ... except to the extent of his pecuniary interest"
