[Form 4] Dave & Buster's Entertainment, Inc. Insider Trading Activity

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Dave & Buster’s Entertainment, Inc. (PLAY) – Form 4 insider filing. On 06/27/2025, director Allen R. Weiss received 4,760 shares of PLAY common stock. The Form 4 lists the transaction code “A” and a price of $0.00, indicating a stock award or similar equity grant rather than an open-market purchase. Following the grant, Weiss directly owns 4,760 shares; no indirect holdings or derivative securities were reported. No sales, options, or additional derivative positions were disclosed, and the filing contains no other financial data.

The size of this grant is modest relative to the company’s total shares outstanding and does not, by itself, represent a material change in ownership structure. However, the award modestly increases director equity alignment with shareholders.

Insights

Corporate Governance Specialist

TL;DR: Small director stock award; neutral impact.

This Form 4 shows a routine equity grant of 4,760 PLAY shares to director Allen R. Weiss. Because the grant is valued at zero cost and represents a negligible fraction of outstanding shares, it neither signals insider conviction (no cash outlay) nor dilutes existing holders in any meaningful way. While incremental alignment is positive from a governance perspective, the event is not financially material and should not influence valuation or trading decisions.
