deferred stock units financial
"Deferred stock units issued for quarterly dividends. Each deferred stock unit entitles the reporting person to receive one share"
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.
restricted stock units financial
"Represents restricted stock units."
Restricted stock units are a type of company reward where employees are promised shares of stock, but they only fully own these shares after meeting certain conditions, like staying with the company for a set time. They matter because they can become valuable assets and are often used to motivate employees to help the company succeed.

FAQ

What did Wyndham (WH) director Pauline Richards report in this Form 4?

Pauline Richards reported equity awards of Wyndham common stock. She received two grants totaling 759 shares as compensation-related awards, rather than buying shares in the open market, and updated her direct common stock and equity unit holdings accordingly.

How many Wyndham (WH) shares were granted to Pauline Richards and at what price?

Richards received 338 shares and 421 shares of Wyndham common stock, each at a reference price of $80.84 per share. These awards are coded as grants or other acquisitions, reflecting compensation arrangements instead of discretionary stock purchases on the market.

Are Pauline Richards’ Wyndham (WH) transactions open-market buys or compensation awards?

The filing characterizes the transactions as compensation awards, not open-market buys. Both are coded as “A” for grant or award, and footnotes explain common stock issued for quarterly retainer fees and deferred units linked to quarterly dividend equivalents.

What are deferred stock units mentioned in the Wyndham (WH) director’s filing?

Deferred stock units are bookkeeping entries that track the right to receive Wyndham common shares later. Each unit entitles the director to one share of common stock after retirement or termination of Board service, and are typically tied to dividend-equivalent or fee-related compensation.

After the reported grants, the filing shows direct holdings of 63,859 shares on one line, 18,198 shares on a second line, and 3,742 shares on a third. These lines likely reflect different direct positions, such as stock and various equity-based award accounts.

What do the restricted stock unit references mean in the Wyndham (WH) Form 4 footnotes?

The footnotes state that some positions represent restricted stock units. These units are rights to receive Wyndham common stock in the future, typically subject to vesting or continued service conditions, and are reported alongside common stock and deferred stock unit holdings.
