Form 4/A: Kodiak AI Corrects RSU Award Size to 62,901 Shares
Rhea-AI Filing Summary
Kodiak AI, Inc. (KDK) reporting person Mohamed Elshenawy filed an amended Form 4 correcting an earlier grant of restricted stock units. The amendment replaces an original, incorrect report of 183,095 RSUs with the actual grant of 62,901 RSUs, each representing a contingent right to one share of common stock. The RSUs were granted on 09/24/2025, have a $0 price, and are reported as directly owned following the grant. The RSUs vest subject to both performance conditions—one-third vests if the common stock trades at or above $18.00, $23.00 and $28.00 for 20 of 30 trading days before the earlier of September 24, 2029 or a change of control—and a service-based vesting schedule described as substantially the same as an option vesting schedule in the original filing. The Form 4/A is signed by power of attorney on behalf of the reporting person.
Positive
- Correction issued clarifies actual insider grant size (62,901 RSUs) improving disclosure accuracy
- Performance-based vesting aligns award realization with stock-price milestones through 2029
Negative
- Initial misreporting (183,095 RSUs) indicates a material reporting error or control weakness
- RSUs contingent on future performance and service, so they may not convert to shares and create uncertainty about dilution timing
Insights
TL;DR: Amendment corrects RSU grant size to 62,901 with performance and service vesting; material for insider holdings transparency.
The amendment removes a material reporting error by reducing the previously reported RSU grant from 183,095 to 62,901, clarifying the insiders actual potential dilution and ownership stake. The RSUs are performance-contingent and service-contingent, which limits immediate economic impact and shareholder dilution until vesting conditions are met. Reporting the $0 grant price and direct beneficial ownership enhances disclosure quality and reduces uncertainty for investors monitoring insider compensation and potential future share issuance.
TL;DR: Corrective filing improves governance transparency but highlights internal reporting control weakness.
The corrected Form 4/A appropriately discloses the true award size and vesting conditions, which is important for governance and proxy-related analysis. However, the need to amend from a substantially larger number signals a lapse in award reporting controls or administrative error. The detailed performance thresholds and long time horizon (vesting tied to events through September 24, 2029) indicate alignment with long-term performance, but the amendment itself is a governance oversight worth noting.

- These securities are restricted stock units ("RSUs"). Each RSU represents a contingent right to receive one share of Common Stock. The original Form 4 filed September 24, 2025 (the "Original Form 4") erroneously reported the grant of 183,095 RSUs. The number of RSUs actually granted was 62,901. The RSUs are subject to both (1) a performance-based vesting condition which will be satisfied as to 1/3rd of the RSUs if the Issuer's Common Stock achieves a price per share, for any period of 20 trading days out of 30 consecutive trading days occurring prior to the earlier of (i) September 24, 2029, or (ii) a change of control, that equals or exceeds the following thresholds, respectively: $18.00, $23.00 and $28.00 and (2) a service-based vesting condition, satisfied on substantially the same terms as the option vesting schedule described in footnote (2) of the Oroginal Form 4.
