restricted stock financial

"Grant of restricted stock awarded on June 23, 2026, as part of the Company's annual grant"

Shares granted to an individual that carry limits on transfer or sale until certain conditions are met, such as staying with the company for a set time or hitting performance targets. Think of them as a locked gift that gradually opens; for investors they matter because they affect how many shares may enter the market later, signal management incentives and potential dilution, and reveal confidence in future company performance.

annual grant of equity awards financial

"as part of the Company's annual grant of equity awards to non-employee directors"

2024 Acacia Research Corporation Stock Incentive Plan financial

"pursuant to the 2024 Acacia Research Corporation Stock Incentive Plan"

non-employee directors financial

"annual grant of equity awards to non-employee directors"

Non-employee directors are board members who do not work for the company as salaried employees and usually do not hold day-to-day management roles. They act like outside referees or independent coaches, providing oversight, asking tough questions, and protecting shareholders’ interests; investors care because these directors help ensure management is accountable, reduce conflicts of interest, and influence decisions that affect company strategy and long-term value.
