FAQ

What insider transaction did CMTG CEO Richard Mack report on this Form 4?

Richard Mack reported an acquisition of equity compensation, receiving 334,996 restricted stock units tied to Claros Mortgage Trust Common Stock. The award was granted at no cash exercise price and reflects a compensation-related grant rather than an open-market share purchase or sale.

How many Claros Mortgage Trust (CMTG) shares does Richard Mack hold after this grant?

After the restricted stock unit grant, Richard Mack is shown holding 3,052,326 shares of Claros Mortgage Trust Common Stock directly. This figure includes the effect of the newly awarded RSUs reported in this filing, providing context for his overall equity position in the company.

What are the vesting terms of Richard Mack’s new RSU award at CMTG?

The 334,996 RSUs vest in three equal installments starting April 1, 2027, with additional vesting on each of the next two anniversaries. Vesting requires continued employment or service under the award agreement, so the units are earned over time rather than immediately.

Does the CMTG Form 4 show an open-market buy or sell by Richard Mack?

No open-market buy or sell is shown. The transaction is coded as a grant or award acquisition of 334,996 RSUs at a price of $0.00 per unit, indicating compensation rather than a discretionary market trade in Claros Mortgage Trust shares.

How do Richard Mack’s RSUs convert into Claros Mortgage Trust stock?

Each restricted stock unit converts into one share of Claros Mortgage Trust Common Stock upon vesting. The Form 4 notes a one-for-one conversion ratio, so the full 334,996 RSUs could ultimately become the same number of shares if all vesting conditions are met.
