Insights

Corporate Governance Analyst

Director purchased 925 FE shares at $45.93.

The insider purchase of 925 shares is a direct, non-derivative acquisition reported under the company’s 2020 Incentive Compensation Plan, indicating routine compensation-related share issuance rather than an open-market director-initiated buy.

The filing clarifies that the 158,128.69 share total includes dividend reinvestments and that 742.7798 shares are held indirectly in the company 401(k) unitized fund as of 9/30/2025, which is an administrative allocation rather than a separate acquisition. The information is transaction-specific and factual.
