[Form 4] Fortive Corporation Insider Trading Activity

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Fortive Corporation (FTV) submitted a Form 4 on 07/01/2025 reporting an automatic dividend-related credit to the Executive Deferred Incentive Program (EDIP) Stock Fund for insider Stacey A. Walker, SVP – Human Resources. On 06/27/2025, Walker was credited with 10.554 phantom shares at a reference price of $71.60, representing a notional value of roughly $756. These units convert one-for-one into Fortive common stock when the EDIP balance is ultimately settled, typically at or after retirement. The transaction lifts Walker’s total EDIP position to 9,456.078 phantom shares. Because the credit reflects routine dividend accrual within a deferred-comp plan—rather than an open-market trade—it does not alter Fortive’s share count, cash flow, or insider ownership in a material way.

Insights

Financial Analyst

TL;DR: Routine phantom-share dividend accrual; tiny dollar amount, no market impact, neutral governance signal.

The filing shows an automatic 10.554-unit addition to Ms. Walker’s EDIP account, valued at just under $800. Such accruals are mechanical and tied to dividend equivalents; they do not involve cash outlay or open-market buying. Post-transaction beneficial ownership of 9,456 phantom shares is modest relative to Fortive’s ±355 million shares outstanding, making the event immaterial for valuation or liquidity. From a governance standpoint, continued participation in the deferred-comp plan aligns executive interests long-term but offers no fresh insight into management’s view of near-term equity prospects.

Explanation of Responses:

1. The reported securities are notional dividend accruals on phantom shares in the Fortive stock fund (the "EDIP Stock Fund") under Fortive's Executive Deferred Incentive Program (the "EDIP"). The number of phantom shares accrued as a result of such notional dividend accruals is based on the closing price of the Issuer's common stock as reported on the NYSE on the date such dividend accruals are credited to the EDIP Stock Fund, which is the price shown in Table II, Column 8 above.

2. The notional shares convert on a one-to-one basis.

3. The Reporting Person immediately vests in 100% of each voluntary contribution to the EDIP Stock Fund. The Reporting Person will vest in all contributions to the EDIP Stock Fund by the Issuer as follows: 100% upon the earlier of the Reporting Person's death, or upon retirement following at least 5 years of service with the Issuer and reaching the age of 55, or, if earlier, one-tenth per year of participation following five years of participation, in each case in accordance with the EDIP. Upon termination of employment, the vested portion of the EDIP Stock Fund is settled in the Issuer's common stock.
