restricted stock units financial
"Represents restricted stock units granted to the reporting person under the Dave & Buster's Entertainment, Inc. 2025 Omnibus Incentive Plan"
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.
tax withholding obligations financial
"Represents shares of common stock withheld by Dave & Buster's Entertainment, Inc. to satisfy tax withholding obligations"
stock options financial
"Represents stock options granted to the reporting person under the Plan"
Stock options are agreements that give a person the right to buy or sell a company's stock at a specific price within a certain time frame. They are often used as a reward or incentive, similar to a coupon that can be used later if the stock price rises, allowing the holder to make a profit.
Omnibus Incentive Plan financial
"under the Dave & Buster's Entertainment, Inc. 2025 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the "Plan")"
An omnibus incentive plan is a single, flexible program a company uses to give employees and executives different types of pay tied to performance — for example stock options, restricted shares, cash bonuses and other awards — all governed by one set of rules. It matters to investors because it determines how many new shares may be created, how leaders are motivated and how much the company will spend on compensation over time; think of it as a master toolbox that affects both costs and the total share supply.
