restricted stock units financial
"Share award represents annual equity compensation in the form of a grant of restricted stock units equal to $140,000"
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.

Section 16 regulatory
"this report shall not be deemed an admission that the reporting person is the beneficial owner of these shares for purposes of Section 16 or for any other purpose"
Section 16 is a U.S. securities law rule that governs the trading and disclosure obligations of company insiders — typically officers, directors and large shareholders — to promote transparency and deter unfair profit-taking. It requires insiders to publicly report their stock trades and allows companies or the issuer to reclaim quick, short-term profits from certain insider trades, like a scoreboard and a refund policy that help investors see and limit possible insider advantage.

FAQ

What insider transaction did CVLG director D. Michael Kramer report?

Kramer reported an equity compensation award of 4,382 shares of Class A Common Stock. The shares were granted at no cash cost as part of his annual director compensation under the company’s omnibus incentive plan, subject to vesting and forfeiture conditions.

What is the value of the stock award reported by CVLG director Kramer?

The award equals $140,000 in value, divided by the closing price on the date of Covenant Logistics’ 2026 annual shareholder meeting. This formula determined the 4,382 awarded shares and reflects standard practice for equity-based director compensation grants.

How many CVLG shares does Kramer hold after this Form 4 transaction?

After the reported grant, Kramer directly holds 23,118 shares of Covenant Logistics Group Class A Common Stock. This figure reflects his direct ownership position following the equity award and excludes shares held in separate custodial accounts for minors.

What is the significance of the 400 CVLG shares held in a UTMA account?

Four hundred shares are held in a Uniform Transfers to Minors Act account over which Kramer acts as custodian. He formally disclaims beneficial ownership of these shares, meaning they are attributed to the minor’s account rather than to his personal holdings.

Under which plan was Kramer’s CVLG stock award granted?

The grant was made under Covenant Logistics Group’s Third Amended and Restated 2006 Omnibus Incentive Plan. This plan governs equity-based compensation, including restricted stock units, and sets the vesting, forfeiture, and termination provisions applicable to Kramer’s award.

Was Kramer’s 4,382-share CVLG award an open-market purchase or a grant?

The 4,382 shares reflect a grant or award, not an open-market purchase. The transaction carried code A, indicating a grant or other acquisition, and the price per share is shown as $0.0000 because it was compensation rather than a market buy.
