Ross Stores director receives 896-share stock award

BUSH MICHAEL J reported acquisition or exercise transactions in this Form 4 filing.

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

BUSH MICHAEL J reported acquisition or exercise transactions in this Form 4 filing.

ROSS STORES, INC. director Michael J. Bush received an equity award of 896 shares of common stock in the form of restricted stock units under the 2026 Equity Incentive Plan. No cash changed hands for this grant, and his directly held stake increased to 37,554 shares.

The footnote explains that these stock units vest in three equal installments: one-third on May 27, 2027, one-third on May 26, 2028, and one-third on May 25, 2029. Settlement of the units into shares is deferred until his separation from the Board, so the award is designed as longer-term, service-based compensation.

Restricted stock units financial

"Restricted stock units granted under the terms of the 2026 Equity 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.
