Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Acuity Inc. director W. Patrick Battle reported receiving 546 Deferred Restricted Stock Units (DSUs) on January 21, 2026. These derivative securities were acquired at $0 per unit as part of his annual director compensation, reflecting his election to take a portion of fees in DSUs instead of cash.
