City Office REIT Form 4: Dividend RSU Grant to Director Murski

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

On 24 Jul 2025, City Office REIT (CIO) director Mark W. Murski received 306 restricted stock units (RSUs) via dividend-equivalent accrual under the company’s Equity Incentive Plan. Each RSU converts into one CIO common share upon vesting, which mirrors the original award’s schedule of three equal annual installments, contingent on continued service.

No shares were sold and no cash consideration was exchanged; the transaction simply increases the director’s equity exposure. After the grant, Murski beneficially owns 21,392 RSUs. The event is a routine insider equity adjustment with negligible effect on share count, liquidity or corporate operations.

Insights

Corporate Governance Analyst

TL;DR: Routine 306-unit dividend RSU grant; negligible financial impact.

The filing reflects an automatic dividend-equivalent adjustment to previously issued RSUs, a standard feature of many REIT incentive plans. No open-market purchase or sale occurred, so trading sentiment remains unaffected. The director’s post-grant holding of 21,392 RSUs modestly tightens management-shareholder alignment but does not materially dilute existing investors. Given the small size relative to CIO’s 45 m+ outstanding shares, the event is administratively important yet financially immaterial.

Explanation of Responses:

1. In accordance with the Company's Equity Incentive Plan (the "Equity Incentive Plan"), Restricted Stock Units (as the defined in the Equity Incentive Plan) convert into common stock on a one-for-one basis.

2. The units represent Restricted Stock Units issuable to the Reporting Person as a dividend equivalency payment with respect to Restricted Stock Units previously issued to the Reporting Person which vest in three substantially equal installments on each of the first three annual anniversaries of the initial Grant Date, generally subject to the Participant's continued service through each applicable vesting date. The Restricted Stock Units reported herein shall vest on the same date and under the same terms as the underlying Restricted Stock Units with respect of which these dividend equivalency units vest.

3. Vested shares will be delivered to the reporting person promptly upon vesting of the related restricted stock units.
