"Represents restricted stock units granted to Mr. Ross"
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 Mr. Ross 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).
