Key Terms

restricted stock, 2019 Incentive Compensation Plan, vest, forfeiture

4 terms

restricted stock financial

"Reflects restricted stock grant made by Steven Madden, Ltd. 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.

2019 Incentive Compensation Plan financial

"under the Steven Madden, Ltd. 2019 Incentive Compensation Plan (the "Plan")"

vest financial

"which stock will vest and cease to be restricted on May 20, 2027"

A vest is the process by which an employee earns the right to receive certain benefits or ownership interests, such as stock or retirement funds, over time. It’s similar to earning a reward gradually, ensuring that the benefit becomes fully yours only after a set period or meeting specific conditions. This makes it important for investors because it determines when they can actually claim or use those benefits.

forfeiture financial

"until fully vested will be subject to forfeiture pursuant to the terms of the Plan"
