weighted average price financial

"The price reported in Column 4 is a weighted average price."

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.

401(k) Savings Plan financial

"under the Brinker International, Inc. 401(k) Savings Plan as of August 31, 2026"

A 401(k) savings plan is an employer-sponsored retirement account that lets employees set aside a portion of their paycheck on a tax-advantaged basis, often with employer matching contributions that act like free additional savings. It matters to investors because matching, tax-deferred growth and investment choices can significantly boost long-term wealth—while plan rules or heavy concentration in a single company’s stock can increase an employee’s financial exposure to that company.

payment of exercise price or tax liability financial

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