Rhea-AI Filing Summary

GASSEL HELMUT reported acquisition or exercise transactions in this Form 4 filing.

Avnet director Helmut Gassel received a small equity-based award rather than trading shares in the market. He was granted 45 Phantom Stock Units on 2026-03-18 as additional units tied to the company’s quarterly dividend. Each Phantom Stock Unit equals one share of Avnet common stock and will be settled in shares after he leaves the Board or if there is a change of control. Following this grant, his Phantom Stock Unit balance is 7,659 units, and a separate line in the filing shows 1,265 shares of common stock held directly. This filing reflects routine director compensation and dividend equivalents, not an open-market purchase or sale.
