ESAB Corp (ESAB) director awarded 213 deferred stock units in lieu of cash

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

ESAB Corp reported that one of its directors received equity-based compensation in the form of deferred stock units. On 12/31/2025, the director acquired 213 deferred stock units, each representing a contingent right to receive one share of ESAB common stock with a par value of $0.001 per share.

These 213 deferred stock units were issued in lieu of the director's cash retainer for Board service, meaning the director chose stock-based pay instead of cash. The units vest immediately but will be settled in ESAB common stock only after the director separates from the company, aligning part of the director's compensation with long-term shareholder interests.
