Form 4 filing overview for The Estée Lauder Companies Inc. (EL)
On 10-Jul-2025, director Lynn Forester de Rothschild reported the automatic grant of 293.15 Stock Units (cash-settled) under the company’s director compensation program. The grant, coded “A” (award), was made in lieu of quarterly board and committee retainers and therefore represents routine, non-discretionary compensation rather than an open-market purchase or sale. Each unit is convertible into cash equal to the value of one Class A share; the table lists a reference price of $92.10 per unit, implying an award value of roughly $27,000. Following the transaction, the reporting person now holds 77,639.08 derivative stock units, all held directly. The units pay out in cash on the first business day of the calendar year after the individual ceases to serve as a director.
Key take-aways
- Transaction is a routine equity retainer for board service, not a discretionary share purchase or sale.
- No change to the director’s ownership of non-derivative (direct share) holdings is reported.
- The filing does not signal management sentiment regarding the company’s prospects and is unlikely to be financially material to EL shareholders.
