weighted average price financial
"The price shown is the weighted average price at which shares were 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.
restricted stock financial
"Includes 10,070 of restricted stock awarded under the Cousins Properties Incorporated 2019"
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.
Omnibus Incentive Stock Plan financial
"awarded under the Cousins Properties Incorporated (CPI) 2019 Omnibus Incentive Stock Plan"
