Restricted stock units (RSUs) financial

"Restricted stock units (RSUs) cliff-vest on the first anniversary"

Restricted stock units (RSUs) are a type of company promise to give employees shares of stock in the future, usually after certain conditions like working for a set time. They are like a gift promised today that you receive later, which can become valuable if the company's stock price goes up. RSUs matter because they are a way companies reward employees and can be a significant part of compensation.

contingent right financial

"Each RSU represents a contingent right to receive one share"

derivative security financial

"transaction_code_description": "Exercise or conversion of derivative security"

A derivative security is a financial contract whose value comes from the price or performance of something else, such as a stock, bond, commodity, or market index. For investors it acts like an insurance policy or a wager: it can be used to protect against losses, lock in prices, or amplify gains and losses, so it can change a portfolio’s risk and potential return without owning the underlying asset directly.

What insider transactions did Avery Dennison (AVY) director William Raymond Wagner report?

William Raymond Wagner reported compensation-related equity activity, not market trades. He exercised 1,087 director RSUs into common stock and received a new 2026 director RSU award for 1,128 units, all held directly as part of his board compensation structure.

Did the Avery Dennison (AVY) director buy or sell shares on the open market?

The filing shows no open-market buying or selling. Instead, Wagner exercised 1,087 restricted stock units into common stock and received a new 1,128-unit RSU grant, reflecting routine director compensation rather than discretionary purchases or sales in the market.

What is the value reference for the Avery Dennison (AVY) RSU exercise?

The non-derivative entry records the 1,087 common shares at $164.01 per share. This figure reflects the reference price associated with the RSU conversion on May 1, 2026, tying the compensation event to the company’s share price on that transaction date.

How do Avery Dennison (AVY) director RSUs vest according to this filing?

The footnote states director restricted stock units cliff-vest on the first anniversary of the grant. Each RSU represents a contingent right to receive one share of common stock, so vesting converts the award into deliverable shares if the director remains eligible.
