On March 3, 2026, 7,911 RSUs converted into 7,911 shares of Akamai common stock. The filing shows these shares as indirectly owned through the Aaron Ahola Revocable Trust, reflecting equity from previously granted RSUs becoming actual shares.

Do these Akamai (AKAM) Form 4 transactions indicate open-market buying or selling?

The reported transactions involve RSU grants, conversions, and tax-withholding dispositions, not open-market purchases or discretionary sales. Codes M, A, and F show equity awards vesting and related tax payments rather than trading decisions in the open market.
