Booking Holdings Inc. 8-K Report, Corporate Update (Sep 14, 2015)

Filed September 14, 2015For Securities:BKNG

Summary

This Form 8-K/A filing from The Priceline Group Inc. (now Booking Holdings Inc.) is an amendment to a previous filing, specifically correcting a detail regarding performance share units. The amendment clarifies that the "target" amount of shares for these units is 5,750, with a potential maximum payout of up to two times this target. This information is crucial for understanding the full potential equity compensation for certain executives and its dilutive impact on shareholders. Investors should note that this is an amendment to clarify a specific point, rather than a disclosure of new material events.
