Stock Incentive Plan financial

"Stock award granted pursuant to Waste Management, Inc. 2023 Stock Incentive Plan."

A stock incentive plan is a company program that gives employees or directors pieces of ownership or the right to buy shares over time, similar to receiving a bonus paid in company stock instead of cash. Investors pay attention because these plans align staff incentives with long‑term company performance but can also dilute existing shareholders and affect reported profits when grants are expensed, so they influence both ownership percentages and financial results.
