Insights

TL;DR: Director received a routine deferred-share grant of 275.13 shares, modesting increasing reported beneficial ownership to 7,365.94 shares.

The Form 4 documents a non-derivative acquisition of 275.13 deferred stock shares on 10/01/2025 at a reported price of $84.69 per share, recorded as accrued compensation in lieu of quarterly director fees. Settlement will be in common stock upon termination of board service, which aligns director compensation with shareholder outcomes without immediate cash impact. The position size remains small relative to typical institutional holdings and appears to be a routine governance/compensation matter rather than a material corporate event.

TL;DR: This is a standard director deferred-compensation election under the company’s stock plan, indicating alignment with shareholder interests.

The filing specifies the grant stems from the Graco Inc. Amended and Restated 2019 Stock Incentive Plan and includes DRIP-acquired deferred shares exempt under Rule 16a-11. The deferred settlement structure (lump sum or installments upon board departure) is customary for non-employee directors. No unusual vesting acceleration, related-party transactions, or immediate dispositions are disclosed. The disclosure was executed by an attorney-in-fact on 10/02/2025, satisfying Section 16 reporting requirements.
