restricted stock financial

"On May 21, 2026, 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.

Wingstop Inc. 2024 Omnibus Incentive Plan financial

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

unvested shares financial

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

beneficially own financial

"the Reporting Person may be deemed to beneficially own all of the shares held by the Trust"

Beneficially own means having the economic rights and risks of a security—such as the right to receive dividends, sell the shares, or profit from price changes—whether or not your name appears on the official share register. Think of it like renting a car: you use it and reap the benefits even if the title lists someone else. Investors care because beneficial ownership determines who truly controls value, must be disclosed under securities rules, and can signal potential influence or trading activity that affects a stock’s price.

pecuniary interest financial

"disclaims beneficial ownership of the shares held by the Trust except to the extent of his pecuniary interest therein."
