5 terms

Stock Option (right to buy) financial

"Security title reported as Stock Option (right to buy) exercised"

Equity Compensation Plan financial

"Options granted pursuant to Cintas Corporation's 2016 Equity Compensation Plan"

A plan by which a company gives employees, directors or contractors ownership or the right to buy ownership in the company through stock, options or similar awards — think of promising slices of the company pie as part of someone's pay. It matters to investors because these awards can change the number of shares outstanding, affect reported profits and influence management’s decisions; large or generous plans can dilute existing holders and alter incentives over time.

weighted average price financial

"The reported price is a weighted average price for shares sold"

Weighted average price is the average price of a security where each trade or component is counted according to its size, so bigger trades pull the average more than smaller ones. Think of it like calculating the average cost of a grocery haul where items you bought more of have greater influence on the final per-item cost. Investors use it to understand the true average price paid or received, judge execution quality, and compare trading performance against market movement.

stock split financial

"completed a four-for-one stock split of its common stock"

A stock split increases the number of a company's shares by dividing each existing share into multiple new shares while reducing the price per share by the same proportion, so an investor's total value and ownership percentage stay the same. It matters because lower per-share prices can make trading easier and attract more buyers, similar to breaking a large chocolate bar into smaller pieces to make it easier to share, which can boost liquidity and market interest.

tax liability financial

"Payment of exercise price or tax liability by delivering or withholding securities"
