Restricted stock units are a type of company reward where employees are promised shares of stock, but they only fully own these shares after meeting certain conditions, like staying with the company for a set time. They matter because they can become valuable assets and are often used to motivate employees to help the company succeed.

FAQ

What did Centene (CNC) director Jessica L. Blume report in this Form 4?

Jessica L. Blume reported receiving 3,992 Centene common shares as restricted stock units. The award is compensation-based, not an open-market purchase, and increases her direct holdings to 32,357 shares, plus 250 shares held indirectly through a revocable family trust.

How many Centene (CNC) shares did Jessica L. Blume acquire in this transaction?

Blume acquired 3,992 shares of Centene common stock in the form of restricted stock units. The Form 4 shows these units were granted at a price of $0.00 per share, reflecting an equity compensation grant rather than a cash purchase on the open market.

When do Jessica L. Blume’s new Centene (CNC) restricted stock units vest?

The 3,992 restricted stock units will vest in full on the earlier of May 12, 2027, or the date of Centene’s next annual meeting of stockholders. This creates a time-based vesting schedule tied to either a specific date or the company’s annual meeting.

What are Jessica L. Blume’s Centene (CNC) holdings after the reported grant?

After the grant, Blume directly owns 32,357 shares of Centene common stock. She also indirectly owns 250 additional shares through a revocable family trust, where she serves as sole trustee, giving her both direct and trust-based exposure to Centene equity.

Is the reported Centene (CNC) transaction an open-market buy or a compensation award?

The transaction is a compensation award, not an open-market buy. The Form 4 labels the code as “A” for grant or award and shows a transaction price of $0.00 per share, indicating restricted stock units granted as part of director compensation rather than a cash purchase.

How is the revocable family trust involved in Jessica L. Blume’s Centene (CNC) holdings?

The filing notes that 250 Centene shares are owned by a revocable family trust. Blume serves as sole trustee of this trust, so those shares are reported as indirect ownership, separate from her 32,357 directly held shares recorded after the restricted stock unit grant.
