Rhea-AI Filing Summary

ACUITY INC. director Laura O'Shaughnessy reported an award of 546 Deferred Restricted Stock Units (DSUs) on common stock equivalent to 1-for-1, received as part of her annual director compensation. The DSUs were issued under the company's Amended and Restated 2012 Omnibus Stock Incentive Compensation Plan after she elected to take a portion of her director fees in DSUs.

The DSUs will vest in full on the first anniversary of the January 21, 2026 grant date, or earlier if the next annual stockholders' meeting occurs sooner. Once vested, the DSUs will be settled upon retirement in either a lump sum or five annual installments. The number of DSUs granted was calculated using a reference price of $320.59, the average of the high and low trading prices of ACUITY INC.'s common stock over the five trading days immediately before the grant, and the transaction is reported as a direct holding.
