4 terms
restricted stock financial
"Represents award of restricted stock pursuant to the FS Bancorp, Inc."
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.
Equity Incentive Plan financial
"pursuant to the FS Bancorp, Inc. 2026 Equity Incentive Plan."
An equity incentive plan is a program that gives employees, executives or directors the right to receive company stock or options to buy stock as part of their pay. Think of it as offering slices of future company profit to motivate people to boost long‑term performance; for investors it matters because it can align employee goals with shareholder value but also increases the number of shares outstanding, which can dilute existing ownership.
ESOP financial
"total_shares_following_transaction":"10853.0000","direct_or_indirect":"I","nature_of_ownership":"By ESOP"
An Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) is a program that gives employees ownership shares in their company, often as part of their benefits package. It acts like a company-sponsored savings plan, allowing workers to have a stake in the company's success, which can boost motivation and loyalty. For investors, ESOPs can influence company decisions and stock value, making them an important aspect of corporate ownership and governance.
tax liability financial
"Payment of exercise price or tax liability by delivering or withholding"
