"held by the company were transferred today without consideration to participants"
Action described as "without consideration" means a transfer, issue, or agreement where one party gives something of value and receives no payment or other legal benefit in return—essentially a gift or gratuitous transfer. For investors, it matters because such transactions can change ownership stakes, dilute existing holders, affect reported assets or liabilities, and trigger legal or tax rules; think of it like someone handing out free shares or assets instead of selling them.
