restricted stock financial
"The restricted stock granted for fiscal year 2027 pursuant to The J. M. Smucker Company 2020 Equity and Incentive Compensation Plan"
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.
2020 Equity and Incentive Compensation Plan financial
"pursuant to The J. M. Smucker Company 2020 Equity and Incentive Compensation Plan vests in three equal annual installments"
grantor retained annuity trust financial
"On March 24, 2026, 19,377 shares were moved from the reporting person's grantor retained annuity trust to his direct ownership"
A grantor retained annuity trust (GRAT) is an estate-planning tool where the person who creates the trust transfers assets into it but receives fixed cash payments (an annuity) from the trust for a set number of years; whatever remains after that term passes to designated beneficiaries. It matters to investors because it can shift future appreciation of assets out of the creator’s taxable estate—like putting an asset into a timed vending machine that pays you fixed amounts while any extra value that grows inside the machine goes to heirs with reduced gift or estate tax consequences.
401(k) plan financial
"This amount includes shares acquired under (i) the Company's 401(k) plan since the date of the reporting person's last ownership report"
A 401(k) plan is a workplace retirement account that lets employees set aside part of their pay into a tax-advantaged savings pot, often with employers adding matching contributions — like a workplace piggy bank for future income. It matters to investors because the amount people save and how employers fund these plans influence consumer spending, corporate payroll costs and the flow of money into financial markets, which can affect stock prices and company valuations.
dividend reinvestment plan financial
"and (ii) the Company's dividend reinvestment plan as administered by its transfer agent"
A dividend reinvestment plan lets shareholders automatically use cash dividends to buy more shares of the same company instead of receiving the money. It matters to investors because it turns regular payouts into a steady way to grow ownership and take advantage of compound returns—like having your savings automatically buy additional slices of a pie over time—while often reducing transaction costs and smoothing purchase timing.
