Ensign Group (ENSG) director granted 600-share equity award

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

The Ensign Group director reports a new stock award. Director Ann Scott Blouin acquired 600 shares of Ensign Group common stock on January 15, 2026 in a transaction reported at a price of $0 per share, indicating a share grant rather than a market purchase. After this award, she beneficially owns 23,227 Ensign Group shares in direct ownership.

The filing notes that these 600 shares vest in three equal annual installments beginning January 15, 2027, so the director will earn the shares over time rather than receiving them all at once.
