What restricted stock grant was reported by the GD director in this Form 4?

He was granted 270 shares of restricted common stock. These shares are subject to service-based vesting and will be released three years after the March 4, 2026 grant date, meaning they do not fully vest immediately and depend on continued service conditions.

Are the reported GD insider awards open-market purchases or sales?

They are not open-market transactions. The Form 4 classifies both the stock options and the 270 restricted shares as grant or award acquisitions, with a reported price per share of $0.00, indicating compensation-related equity awards rather than market buys or sells.

How many General Dynamics shares does the director own after these transactions?

Following the March 4, 2026 grant of 270 restricted shares, his direct common stock holdings total 5,846 shares. The Form 4 also shows 1,120 stock options outstanding after the option award, all held under direct ownership according to the filing.

The options vest in two equal tranches. According to the filing, fifty percent of the 1,120 options become exercisable on March 4, 2028, and the remaining fifty percent become exercisable on March 4, 2029, aligning exercise rights with multi-year service.
