restricted stock financial
"Includes 1,241 shares of restricted stock that vest on June 17, 2027."
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.
weighted average price financial
"The price reported in Column 4 is the weighted average price."
Weighted average price is the average price of a security where each trade or component is counted according to its size, so bigger trades pull the average more than smaller ones. Think of it like calculating the average cost of a grocery haul where items you bought more of have greater influence on the final per-item cost. Investors use it to understand the true average price paid or received, judge execution quality, and compare trading performance against market movement.
Amended and Restated 2008 Performance Incentive Plan financial
"Stock options granted under the Willdan Group, Inc. Amended and Restated 2008 Performance Incentive Plan, which vested in three equal installments"
