restricted stock units financial
"Represents restricted stock units granted to Mr. Ross 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.
Omnibus Incentive Plan financial
"Represents restricted stock units granted to Mr. Ross under the Dave & Buster's Entertainment, Inc. 2025 Omnibus Incentive 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.
Section 13(d) group regulatory
"Each of the Reporting Persons may be deemed to be a member of a Section 13(d) group that collectively beneficially own more than 10% of the Issuer's outstanding shares."
beneficial ownership regulatory
"Each Reporting Person disclaims beneficial ownership of the securities reported herein except to the extent of his or its pecuniary interest therein."
Beneficial ownership means the person or entity that actually enjoys the benefits of owning shares or other assets — such as receiving dividends, voting rights, or price gains — even if the legal title is held in another name. For investors it matters because knowing who truly controls and profits from a company reveals who can influence decisions, exposes potential conflicts of interest or hidden concentration of power, and affects transparency and risk in the stock.
pecuniary interest financial
"Each Reporting Person disclaims beneficial ownership of the securities reported herein except to the extent of his or its pecuniary interest therein."
