Dave & Buster’s Entertainment, Inc. (PLAY) – Form 4 insider filing

Senior Vice President & Chief Information Officer Steve Klohn reported equity awards granted on 18 June 2025 and 27 June 2025 following shareholder approval of the company’s 2025 Omnibus Incentive Plan:

  • Restricted Stock Units: 2,115 common shares (grant date 27 Jun 2025) that vest in three equal annual tranches on 24 Apr 2026-2028. Total direct share ownership rises to 24,243.
  • Stock Options: 6,056 options at $33.02 and 6,803 options at $37.04 (both granted 18 Jun 2025) plus 2,115 options at $30.45 (27 Jun 2025). All options expire 21 Jan 2035 (or 27 Jun 2035 for the last grant) and vest in 3-4 annual installments beginning in 2025-2026.

No shares were sold; all transactions were coded “A” (acquisition) at $0 cost, signalling compensation-related grants rather than open-market activity. The filing modestly increases insider alignment but is immaterial to PLAY’s capital structure.

Dave & Buster’s Entertainment, Inc. (PLAY) – Comunicazione interna Form 4

Il Senior Vice President e Chief Information Officer Steve Klohn ha segnalato premi azionari concessi il 18 e il 27 giugno 2025, a seguito dell’approvazione da parte degli azionisti del Piano Incentivi Omnibus 2025 della società:

  • Restricted Stock Units: 2.115 azioni ordinarie (data di assegnazione 27 giugno 2025) che maturano in tre tranche annuali uguali dal 24 aprile 2026 al 2028. La proprietà diretta totale sale a 24.243 azioni.
  • Opzioni su azioni: 6.056 opzioni a $33,02 e 6.803 opzioni a $37,04 (entrambe concesse il 18 giugno 2025) più 2.115 opzioni a $30,45 (27 giugno 2025). Tutte le opzioni scadono il 21 gennaio 2035 (o il 27 giugno 2035 per l’ultima assegnazione) e maturano in 3-4 rate annuali a partire dal 2025-2026.

Non sono state vendute azioni; tutte le transazioni sono state codificate come “A” (acquisizione) a costo zero, indicando premi legati alla compensazione e non attività di mercato aperto. La comunicazione aumenta leggermente l’allineamento degli insider ma non modifica in modo significativo la struttura del capitale di PLAY.

El Vicepresidente Senior y Director de Información Steve Klohn reportó adjudicaciones de acciones otorgadas el 18 y 27 de junio de 2025 tras la aprobación por parte de los accionistas del Plan de Incentivos Omnibus 2025 de la empresa:

  • Unidades de Acciones Restringidas: 2,115 acciones comunes (fecha de concesión 27 de junio de 2025) que se consolidan en tres partes iguales anuales entre el 24 de abril de 2026 y 2028. La propiedad directa total asciende a 24,243 acciones.
  • Opciones sobre acciones: 6,056 opciones a $33.02 y 6,803 opciones a $37.04 (ambas otorgadas el 18 de junio de 2025) más 2,115 opciones a $30.45 (27 de junio de 2025). Todas las opciones vencen el 21 de enero de 2035 (o el 27 de junio de 2035 para la última concesión) y se consolidan en 3-4 cuotas anuales a partir de 2025-2026.

No se vendieron acciones; todas las transacciones fueron codificadas como “A” (adquisición) a costo cero, indicando concesiones relacionadas con compensación en lugar de actividad en mercado abierto. La presentación incrementa modestamente la alineación interna pero no afecta significativamente la estructura de capital de PLAY.

Dave & Buster’s Entertainment, Inc. (PLAY) – 내부자 신고서 Form 4

수석 부사장 겸 최고 정보 책임자 스티브 클론이 주주 승인에 따른 2025년 6월 18일과 6월 27일에 부여된 주식 보상을 보고했습니다. 회사의 2025년 종합 인센티브 플랜에 따른 내용입니다:

  • 제한부 주식 단위: 2,115 보통주 (부여일 2025년 6월 27일)로 2026년 4월 24일부터 2028년까지 매년 3등분하여 권리가 확정됩니다. 총 직접 보유 주식 수는 24,243주로 증가합니다.
  • 스톡 옵션: 6,056주 옵션 ($33.02), 6,803주 옵션 ($37.04) (둘 다 2025년 6월 18일 부여), 그리고 2,115주 옵션 ($30.45, 2025년 6월 27일 부여). 모든 옵션은 2035년 1월 21일 만료되며 (마지막 부여분은 2035년 6월 27일 만료), 2025년~2026년부터 3~4년간 연간 분할하여 권리가 확정됩니다.

주식 매도는 없었으며, 모든 거래는 $0 비용의 “A”(취득) 코드로 표시되어 보상 관련 부여임을 나타내며 공개 시장 활동이 아님을 뜻합니다. 이번 신고는 내부자 정렬을 약간 높였으나 PLAY의 자본 구조에는 미미한 영향을 미칩니다.

Dave & Buster’s Entertainment, Inc. (PLAY) – Déclaration d’initié Formulaire 4

Le Vice-Président Senior et Directeur de l’Information Steve Klohn a déclaré des attributions d’actions accordées les 18 et 27 juin 2025, suite à l’approbation par les actionnaires du Plan d’Incitation Omnibus 2025 de la société :

  • Unités d’Actions Restreintes : 2 115 actions ordinaires (date d’attribution 27 juin 2025) qui seront acquises en trois tranches annuelles égales du 24 avril 2026 au 2028. La détention directe totale d’actions passe à 24 243.
  • Options d’Achat d’Actions : 6 056 options à 33,02 $ et 6 803 options à 37,04 $ (toutes deux attribuées le 18 juin 2025) plus 2 115 options à 30,45 $ (27 juin 2025). Toutes les options expirent le 21 janvier 2035 (ou le 27 juin 2035 pour la dernière attribution) et seront acquises en 3-4 versements annuels à partir de 2025-2026.

Aucune action n’a été vendue ; toutes les transactions ont été codées « A » (acquisition) à coût nul, indiquant des attributions liées à la rémunération plutôt qu’une activité sur le marché ouvert. Cette déclaration augmente modestement l’alignement des initiés mais n’a pas d’impact significatif sur la structure du capital de PLAY.

Dave & Buster’s Entertainment, Inc. (PLAY) – Insider-Meldung Form 4

Senior Vice President und Chief Information Officer Steve Klohn meldete Aktienzuteilungen, die am 18. Juni 2025 und 27. Juni 2025 nach Zustimmung der Aktionäre zum Omnibus-Anreizplan 2025 des Unternehmens gewährt wurden:

  • Restricted Stock Units: 2.115 Stammaktien (Zuteilungsdatum 27. Juni 2025), die in drei gleichen jährlichen Tranchen am 24. April 2026 bis 2028 vesten. Der direkte Aktienbesitz steigt auf 24.243.
  • Aktienoptionen: 6.056 Optionen zu $33,02 und 6.803 Optionen zu $37,04 (beide am 18. Juni 2025 gewährt) plus 2.115 Optionen zu $30,45 (27. Juni 2025). Alle Optionen verfallen am 21. Januar 2035 (bzw. 27. Juni 2035 für die letzte Zuteilung) und vesten in 3–4 jährlichen Raten ab 2025–2026.

Es wurden keine Aktien verkauft; alle Transaktionen wurden als „A“ (Erwerb) mit $0 Kosten codiert, was auf vergütungsbezogene Zuteilungen und nicht auf Aktivitäten am offenen Markt hinweist. Die Meldung erhöht die Insider-Ausrichtung leicht, ist aber für die Kapitalstruktur von PLAY unerheblich.

Positive
  • No insider selling: all reported transactions are grants or acquisitions, suggesting continued alignment between the executive and shareholders.
  • Additional equity ownership: direct holdings increase to 24,243 shares, modestly boosting insider stake.
Negative
  • None.

Insights

TL;DR – Routine equity grants; no sales; neutral corporate impact.

The Form 4 discloses standard equity compensation to a senior executive: 2,115 RSUs and roughly 15,000 stock options across three strike prices ($30-$37). No disposals occurred, so there is no negative supply signal. While insider ownership creeps up to 24,243 shares, the amount (< 0.1 % of outstanding stock) is too small to influence float or valuation. Vesting is service-based; no performance criteria are indicated. For investors, the filing is neutral—helpful alignment but not a catalyst.
