restricted stock financial

"Shares of restricted stock issued pursuant to the Village Super Market, Inc. 2016 Stock 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.

decedent trust financial

"The securities are held directly by a decedent trust, in which the Reporting Person is the sole trustee."

Crystal Family Charitable Foundation financial

"The securities are held directly by the Crystal Family Charitable Foundation, in which the Reporting Person is the sole trustee."
