Restricted Stock Plan financial
"Shares were granted pursuant to the Dillard's, Inc. 2005 Non-Employee Director Restricted Stock Plan, as amended."
A restricted stock plan is a program where a company grants employees or executives shares that are held back until certain conditions are met, such as staying with the company for a set period or hitting performance goals. Think of it like a reward that unlocks over time; for investors it matters because these grants can dilute existing ownership when they vest and signal management’s incentives and confidence in future performance.
