restricted stock units ("RSUs") financial

"These restricted stock units ("RSUs") are granted pursuant to the Westrock Coffee Company 2022 Equity Incentive Plan."

Restricted stock units (RSUs) are a company promise to give an employee shares of stock (or cash equivalent) in the future, but only after certain conditions—usually staying with the company for a set time or hitting performance goals—are met. Investors watch RSUs because when they vest they increase the number of shares outstanding and can lead insiders to sell shares, affecting share price, company dilution and the true cost of employee pay.

2022 Equity Incentive Plan financial

"These restricted stock units ("RSUs") are granted pursuant to the Westrock Coffee Company 2022 Equity Incentive Plan."

beneficial ownership financial

"Mr. Ford disclaims beneficial ownership over all shares of Common Stock held by the trust over which he does not have any pecuniary interest."

Beneficial ownership means the person or entity that actually enjoys the benefits of owning shares or other assets — such as receiving dividends, voting rights, or price gains — even if the legal title is held in another name. For investors it matters because knowing who truly controls and profits from a company reveals who can influence decisions, exposes potential conflicts of interest or hidden concentration of power, and affects transparency and risk in the stock.

pecuniary interest financial

"Mr. Ford disclaims beneficial ownership over all shares of Common Stock held by the trust over which he does not have any pecuniary interest."

contingent right financial

"Each RSU represents a contingent right to receive one share of the Issuer's common stock."
