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 ... to satisfy tax withholding obligations in connection with the vesting of restricted stock units"
2025 Omnibus Incentive Plan financial
"granted to the reporting person 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). Investors care because it affects how much ownership can be issued, dilutes existing shareholders, and aligns executives’ and employees’ incentives with company goals, similar to giving team members a stake in the outcome.
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.
vesting financial
"The restricted stock units will vest in three equal annual installements"
Vesting is the process by which you earn full ownership of something, like company stock or a retirement benefit, over time. It’s like earning the right to keep a gift piece by piece the longer you stay with a company, making sure employees stay committed before they receive all the benefits.
