FAQ

What did CCSI CFO James C. Malone acquire in this Form 4 filing?

James C. Malone acquired equity awards rather than buying shares on the market. He received 33,069 restricted stock units of common stock and 16,534 performance stock units, both at $0, as part of Consensus Cloud Solutions’ 2021 Stock Plan.

How many CCSI common shares does the CFO hold after this transaction?

After the reported grant, James C. Malone directly beneficially owns 158,781 shares of Consensus Cloud Solutions common stock. This figure reflects his holdings following the 33,069-share restricted stock unit award disclosed in the Form 4 filing dated February 9, 2026.

What are the terms of the CCSI performance stock units reported for the CFO?

Malone was awarded 16,534 performance stock units at an exercise price of $0. These units vest only when a specified performance trigger is achieved and the grant has been held for at least 12 months, as outlined under the company’s 2021 Stock Plan.

Is the CCSI CFO’s equity award a market purchase or a grant?

The equity reported is a grant, not an open-market purchase. The Form 4 uses transaction codes A and M, indicating a grant/award of restricted stock units and an exercise or conversion related to performance stock units, both priced at $0 per unit.

Under which plan were the CCSI CFO’s stock and performance units granted?

Both the 33,069 restricted stock units and the 16,534 performance stock units were awarded under Consensus Cloud Solutions’ 2021 Stock Plan. This plan governs grant terms, including vesting conditions and performance triggers for these stock-based compensation awards.

Do the CCSI performance stock units vest immediately for the CFO?

The performance stock units do not vest immediately. They become eligible to vest only after a performance trigger has been satisfied and the grant has been held for at least 12 months, delaying when the CFO can receive the underlying common shares.
