4 terms

restricted stock units financial

"Represents restricted stock units ("RSUs") granted under the 2024 Amended & Restated"

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.

Long-Term Incentive Plan financial

"granted under the 2024 Amended & Restated Prairie Operating Co. Long-Term Incentive Plan"

A long-term incentive plan is a company program that pays executives or employees with stock, options, or cash tied to multi-year performance goals, where the rewards become theirs only after meeting conditions over time. Think of it as a delayed bonus or retirement-style reward that aligns employees’ interests with shareholders by encouraging them to boost long-term value; investors watch these plans because they affect pay costs, share dilution and management incentives.

contingent right financial

"Each RSU represents a contingent right to receive, upon vesting, one share of common stock"

par value financial

"one share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Prairie Operating Co."

Par value is the fixed amount printed on a bond or stock that represents its original value when issued. It’s like the face value of a coin or bill—what the issuer promises to pay back or the starting price of a stock—though it often doesn’t change with market prices. It matters because it helps determine certain financial details, like how much the company will pay back at maturity.
