restricted stock units financial

"Represents restricted stock units granted to the reporting person under"

Restricted stock units are a type of company reward where employees are promised shares of stock, but they only fully own these shares after meeting certain conditions, like staying with the company for a set time. They matter because they can become valuable assets and are often used to motivate employees to help the company succeed.

2025 Omnibus Incentive Plan financial

"granted to the reporting person under the Dave & Buster's Entertainment, Inc. 2025 Omnibus Incentive Plan"

An omnibus incentive plan is a company-wide program that authorizes awards of pay tied to performance and retention—such as stock options, restricted shares, cash bonuses and other rewards—here labeled for the year it was adopted (2025). Investors care because it affects how much ownership can be issued, dilutes existing shareholders, and aligns executives’ and employees’ incentives with company goals, similar to giving team members a stake in the outcome.
