4 terms

restricted stock financial

"the Reporting Person was granted 981 shares of restricted stock pursuant to the Wingstop Inc. 2024 Omnibus Incentive 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.

2024 Omnibus Incentive Plan financial

"granted 981 shares of restricted stock pursuant to the Wingstop Inc. 2024 Omnibus Incentive Plan"

beneficially owned financial

"correct the number of shares of restricted stock reported as granted to and beneficially owned by the Reporting Person"

Beneficially owned describes securities or assets where a person has the economic rights and control—such as the right to receive dividends and to direct voting—even if legal title is held in another name. Think of it like having the keys and using a car that’s registered to someone else: you get the benefits and make decisions. Investors care because beneficial ownership reveals who truly controls value and voting power, affecting corporate decisions and takeover dynamics.

unvested shares financial

"Includes unvested shares of restricted stock that would be forfeited upon the Reporting Person's termination of service"
