4 terms

withholding tax liability financial

"These shares were surrendered to satisfy the withholding tax liability incurred upon the vesting of shares"

restricted stock financial

"the vesting of shares of restricted stock originally issued to the reporting person"

Shares granted to an individual that carry limits on transfer or sale until certain conditions are met, such as staying with the company for a set time or hitting performance targets. Think of them as a locked gift that gradually opens; for investors they matter because they affect how many shares may enter the market later, signal management incentives and potential dilution, and reveal confidence in future company performance.

Long Term Incentive Plan financial

"pursuant to the Amended and Restated Riley Exploration Permian, Inc. 2021 Long Term Incentive Plan"

A long term incentive plan is a company program that awards executives and key employees bonuses—often in stock, options, or cash—only if the business meets multi-year performance goals. It links management pay to company results—like tying a coach’s bonus to a team’s multi-season record—so investors monitor it for how leaders are motivated, potential share dilution, and signals about the company’s long-term priorities.

tax-withholding disposition financial

"transaction_action": "tax-withholding disposition""

A tax-withholding disposition is an event or transaction—such as selling or transferring securities, exercising options, or receiving compensation—that triggers a requirement to hold back part of the payment and remit it to tax authorities. It matters to investors because it reduces the cash they receive immediately and can change the timing and amount of taxable income, like a cashier taking a portion of your sale proceeds to pay taxes before you get the rest.
