Deferred Stock financial

"The filing lists transactions in "Deferred Stock" tied to underlying Common Stock."

derivative security financial

"Transaction code M is described as "Exercise or conversion of derivative security"."

A derivative security is a financial contract whose value comes from the price or performance of something else, such as a stock, bond, commodity, or market index. For investors it acts like an insurance policy or a wager: it can be used to protect against losses, lock in prices, or amplify gains and losses, so it can change a portfolio’s risk and potential return without owning the underlying asset directly.

Omnibus Equity and Incentive Compensation Plan financial

"Footnote states awards were granted under the 2014 Omnibus Equity and Incentive Compensation Plan."

Deferred Shares Agreement for Directors financial

"A footnote references the "Deferred Shares Agreement for Directors" governing deferred shares."

Equity and Incentive Compensation Plan financial

"Another footnote cites the Flowers Foods, Inc. 2026 Equity and Incentive Compensation Plan."
