Restricted Stock Plan financial
"Restricted shares issued under the Trinity Capital Inc. 2019 Non-Employee Director Restricted Stock Plan, as amended."
A restricted stock plan is a program where a company grants employees or executives shares that are held back until certain conditions are met, such as staying with the company for a set period or hitting performance goals. Think of it like a reward that unlocks over time; for investors it matters because these grants can dilute existing ownership when they vest and signal management’s incentives and confidence in future performance.
bona fide gift financial
"transaction_code_description: Bona fide gift"
A bona fide gift is a genuine, voluntary transfer of money, property, or benefits from one party to another made without expectation of repayment, services, or hidden conditions. Investors care because such gifts can affect company disclosures, related‑party transaction rules, tax treatment, and perceived conflicts of interest; think of it like someone giving you a present with no strings attached — but on a corporate scale, auditors and regulators need to verify it really is unconditional.
distribution reinvestment plan financial
"terms as those of the Trinity Capital Inc. distribution reinvestment plan."
An automatic program that uses cash distributions—such as dividends or other payouts—from a stock or fund to buy additional shares of the same security instead of handing out cash to the investor. Think of it like using store credit you’d otherwise pocket to buy more items: it makes your holding grow over time without you having to manually reinvest, which can compound returns, reduce transaction costs and change the timing of taxable income.
dividend reinvestment program financial
"Includes shares acquired pursuant to broker dividend reinvestment program that reinvests Trinity Capital Inc. dividends"
A dividend reinvestment program lets investors automatically use cash dividends to buy more shares of the same company instead of taking the money as cash. Think of it like an automatic savings plan that turns small payouts into additional ownership, often including fractional shares, which can speed up compound growth and reduce the need for manual buying decisions — a convenience that can boost long-term returns for shareholders.
