restricted stock units financial

"Grant of restricted stock units received in lieu of $30,000 quarterly cash"

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.

What did Cencora (COR) director Ellen Cooper report in this Form 4?

Ellen Cooper reported a grant of 97 restricted stock units on July 31, 2026. The grant was received instead of a $30,000 quarterly cash retainer under Cencora’s Non-Employee Director Compensation Program and will settle in shares after her board service ends.

How many Cencora (COR) shares did Ellen Cooper acquire and at what value?

She acquired 97 restricted stock units, valued at $311.34 per share. This value corresponds to a $30,000 quarterly cash retainer that she chose to receive in equity rather than cash, under the company’s non-employee director compensation structure.

What are Ellen Cooper’s Cencora (COR) holdings after this transaction?

Why did Ellen Cooper receive restricted stock units from Cencora (COR)?

She received the restricted stock units in lieu of a $30,000 quarterly cash retainer. This reflects Cencora’s Non-Employee Director Compensation Program, which allows directors to take compensation in equity, aligning their interests with shareholders through additional stock-based exposure.

When will Ellen Cooper receive the Cencora (COR) shares from this RSU grant?

Receipt of the underlying Cencora shares is deferred until she ceases service as a director. Until that cessation of service, the grant remains in the form of restricted stock units rather than settled common stock, according to the program’s deferral terms.
