Equity Incentive Plan financial

"granted pursuant to the Gouverneur Bancorp, Inc. 2025 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.

IRA financial

"Common Stock held indirectly with nature_of_ownership: By IRA"

An individual retirement account (IRA) is a savings account designed to help people put aside money for their retirement, often with tax advantages that encourage long-term savings. It matters to investors because it can grow over time, providing financial security later in life, and offers benefits that can reduce current taxes or allow investments to compound more effectively.
