FAQ

What did Michael R. Nicolais report in the Eagle Materials (EXP) Form 4?

He reported an automatic grant of 5.033 dividend equivalent RSUs linked to a cash dividend on Eagle Materials common stock. These units increase his existing restricted stock unit awards rather than reflecting an open-market purchase or sale of shares.

How many Restricted Stock Units did the Eagle Materials (EXP) director receive?

Michael R. Nicolais received 5.033 dividend equivalent Restricted Stock Units on April 13, 2026. These RSUs were credited because Eagle Materials paid a cash dividend on its common stock, increasing the size of his previously granted RSU awards by the same amount.

What are dividend equivalent RSUs (DEUs) in the Eagle Materials (EXP) filing?

Dividend equivalent RSUs are additional restricted stock units credited when the company pays a cash dividend. In this case, 5.033 DEUs were added to prior RSU awards, so the director’s stock-based compensation grows in line with shareholder dividend payments without any separate cash transaction.

Did Michael R. Nicolais buy or sell Eagle Materials (EXP) shares on the market?

No, the filing shows no open-market buy or sell. It reports a grant of 5.033 dividend equivalent RSUs at a stated price of $0.00, reflecting an automatic, compensation-related adjustment rather than a discretionary stock purchase or sale on the public market.

What is Michael R. Nicolais’s RSU position after this Eagle Materials (EXP) transaction?

After the 5.033 dividend equivalent RSU grant, he directly holds 3,995.6939 Restricted Stock Units tied to Eagle Materials common stock. This total represents accumulated stock-based compensation awards, including the newly credited dividend equivalents from the recent cash dividend payment.

What does the Form 4 footnote reveal about earlier Eagle Materials (EXP) RSU awards?

The footnote states these dividend equivalent RSUs relate to underlying RSU awards originally disclosed in Form 4s filed in 2004, 2005, and 2006. That means older equity awards continue to accrue additional RSUs whenever Eagle Materials pays eligible cash dividends on its common stock.
