Deferred Stock Units financial

"This transaction relates to the distribution and/or conversion of Deferred Stock Units to common stock under the Executive Deferred Compensation Plan."

Deferred stock units are promises from a company to give an employee shares of stock at a future date, often after certain conditions are met or after leaving the company. They function like a form of delayed compensation, allowing employees to earn shares over time. For investors, they represent potential future ownership in the company, but do not provide immediate voting rights or dividends until the shares are actually received.

Executive Deferred Compensation Plan financial

"Deferred Stock Units were subject to a mandatory holding period and are being delivered to the Participant at the time specified in the grant agreement, according to the terms and conditions of the Executive Deferred Compensation Plan."

fair market value financial

"based on the fair market value of Redwood Trust, Inc. common stock on the transaction date."

The price a willing buyer and a willing seller would agree on for an asset or security when neither is under pressure and both have access to the same information. Think of it as the market’s neutral estimate of what something is worth, like the price two neighbors would settle on for a car after comparing similar listings. Investors care because fair market value guides buying and selling decisions, tax reporting, portfolio valuation, and how accurately company assets are reflected in financial statements.

grant date fair market value financial

"Represents fair value of Deferred Stock Units, based on the original grant date fair market value."
