Phantom Stock Units financial
"The phantom stock units were accrued under the Zimmer Biomet Holdings, Inc. Deferred Compensation Plan"
Phantom stock units are company promises that pay a cash or stock-equivalent award tied to the firm’s share price or value growth, but they do not issue actual shares. Think of them as a bonus check that moves with the stock like a mirror rather than handing over an ownership slice. Investors care because these awards can affect a company’s future cash obligations, executive incentives and reported expenses without causing share dilution.

"accrued under the Zimmer Biomet Holdings, Inc. Deferred Compensation Plan for Non-Employee Directors"
dividend reinvestment provision financial
"accrued ... under the dividend reinvestment provision of the Zimmer Biomet Holdings, Inc. Deferred Compensation Plan"
A dividend reinvestment provision is a company policy that lets shareholders automatically use their cash dividends to buy more shares instead of receiving money. Think of it like a subscription that turns each payday into buying an extra slice of the same pie; it helps investors compound their holdings over time, often with lower transaction costs and sometimes at a small discount, which can boost long‑term returns and subtly change ownership percentages.
