Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Famadas Nelson reported acquisition or exercise transactions in this Form 4 filing.

Dolphin Entertainment director Nelson Famadas received an equity grant of 6,623 shares of Common Stock as a restricted stock unit (RSU) award. The award was granted at no cash cost per share and increases his directly held and reported RSU-based position to 8,632 shares of Common Stock.

The RSUs are scheduled to vest in four equal installments, with portions vesting on May 15, 2026, August 15, 2026, November 16, 2026 and March 31, 2027. Because this is a compensation-related grant rather than an open-market purchase or sale, it reflects standard equity compensation for a director rather than a discretionary market trade.
