FAQ

What insider transaction did FET director Louis Raspino report?

Louis Raspino reported receiving a grant of 2,556 shares of restricted common stock. The award came under Forum Energy Technologies’ 2016 Second Amended and Restated Stock and Incentive Plan as equity compensation rather than a market purchase, increasing his direct share holdings.

What type of shares were granted to the FET director in this Form 4?

The transaction involves restricted shares of common stock awarded to the director. These restricted shares are subject to transferability and other conditions, and are structured as equity compensation, not an open-market buy or sell of Forum Energy Technologies, Inc. stock.

When do the restricted FET shares granted to Louis Raspino vest?

The restricted stock award vests in full on the one-year anniversary of the grant date. This means all 2,556 shares become fully vested together after one year, assuming continued service and other plan conditions are satisfied under the company’s stock and incentive plan.

Can the FET restricted stock granted to the director vest earlier than one year?

Yes. The award provides for accelerated vesting of the entire restricted stock grant upon a Change in Control, as defined in the company’s plan. If such an event occurs before the one-year anniversary, all 2,556 restricted shares would vest earlier under those terms.

Do the restricted FET shares carry dividend and voting rights before vesting?

Yes. The restricted stock agreement includes dividend and voting rights for the granted shares. Even while subject to vesting and transfer restrictions, the director can vote the shares and receive any dividends declared, consistent with the terms of the plan and award agreement.

How many FET shares does Louis Raspino hold after this restricted stock grant?

After the grant, Louis Raspino directly holds 27,234 shares of Forum Energy Technologies common stock. This total includes the newly awarded 2,556 restricted shares and reflects his direct ownership position following the reported equity compensation transaction.
