R. Martin Chavez reported receiving four small equity awards, each for 1.0000 Class C Google Stock Unit, on March 16, 2026. These are classified as grant or award acquisitions and reflect stock-based compensation rather than open-market purchases or sales of Alphabet shares.

What type of Alphabet securities did Martin Chavez acquire in the latest Form 4 filing?

He acquired Class C Google Stock Units, which are stock-based awards that convert into Alphabet Class C Capital Stock as they vest. Footnotes state each GSU or related dividend equivalent unit entitles him to one Class C share when the applicable vesting conditions are satisfied.

How many Alphabet Class C Google Stock Units does Martin Chavez hold after these transactions?

After the March 16, 2026 awards, Martin Chavez directly holds 1,684 Class C Google Stock Units. These units vest over time according to specified monthly schedules that depend on his continued service, ultimately delivering an equivalent number of Alphabet Class C shares upon vesting.

How many Alphabet Class C Capital Stock shares does Martin Chavez report holding directly?

He reports direct ownership of 9,346 shares of Alphabet Class C Capital Stock. This figure appears as a holding entry in the Form 4 and reflects his direct share position, separate from the Class C Google Stock Units that will convert into additional shares as they vest.

What are dividend equivalent units (DEUs) mentioned in Martin Chavez’s Alphabet Form 4 footnotes?

Dividend equivalent units accrue on existing Google Stock Units when Alphabet pays cash dividends. Footnotes note DEUs accrued on GSUs held as of March 9, 2026, tied to a dividend distributed March 16, 2026. Each DEU vests on the same schedule as the underlying GSU and converts into one Class C share.

How do the Alphabet Google Stock Units reported by Martin Chavez vest over time?

Footnotes describe monthly vesting schedules where either one forty-eighth or one quarter of the grant vests at specified times, followed by additional monthly installments. Vesting is conditioned on continued service on the Board or continued employment on the relevant vesting dates.
