FAQ

What insider transaction did Equinix (EQIX) report for Christopher B. Paisley?

Equinix reported that director Christopher B. Paisley received a grant of 241 Restricted Stock Units. Each RSU represents one share of common stock, increasing his equity-based compensation position subject to future vesting conditions tied to continued service on the board.

How many Restricted Stock Units were granted to the Equinix (EQIX) director?

The director was granted 241 Restricted Stock Units. These units correspond to 241 underlying shares of Equinix common stock and represent additional equity compensation that will only convert into shares if the specified vesting conditions and service requirements are fully satisfied.

When do the newly granted Equinix (EQIX) RSUs vest for the director?

The RSUs vest on the earlier of May 13, 2027 or the date of the regular stockholder meeting held in the calendar year after the grant. Vesting requires the director to remain in continuous service through the applicable vesting date under the award’s terms.

What happens to the Equinix (EQIX) RSU award if the director’s service ends?

The RSU award expires upon the director’s termination of service. If he leaves before the vesting date, the unvested Restricted Stock Units are forfeited and do not convert into Equinix common shares, limiting the award’s value to continued board service.

Is the Equinix (EQIX) RSU grant to the director an open-market purchase or sale?

No, the RSU grant is classified as a grant or award acquisition, not an open-market trade. The director did not buy or sell shares for cash; instead, he received equity compensation that may settle in shares if vesting requirements are later met.

How many Equinix (EQIX) RSUs does the director hold after this transaction?

After this transaction, the director holds 241 Restricted Stock Units directly. These units represent a potential future claim on 241 shares of Equinix common stock, contingent on satisfying the vesting schedule and continuous service conditions set out in the award agreement.
