Genuine Parts Company (GPC) – Form 4 insider activity
On 08/01/2025, Alain Masse, President of North America Automotive, acquired 2,767 shares of GPC common stock via a time-based restricted stock unit (RSU) grant. The award was recorded at a price of $0, indicating it was part of equity compensation rather than an open-market purchase. Following the grant, Masse’s direct ownership increased to 9,094 shares.
The RSUs vest in three equal annual installments on the first, second and third anniversaries of the grant date, aligning the executive’s incentives with long-term shareholder value. No derivative securities or dispositions were reported.
Because this transaction represents an increase in insider ownership without cash outlay, it usually signals continued alignment between management and investors, but the size (2,767 shares) is modest relative to GPC’s float and therefore unlikely to be materially market-moving on its own.
Genuine Parts Company (GPC) filed a Form 4 disclosing that director Paul Russell Hardin acquired 265 units of phantom stock on 07/02/2025 at an assigned value of $127.30 per unit. Phantom stock is economically equivalent to common shares but is settled in cash or stock at the insider’s election under a prior deferral arrangement. Following the transaction, Hardin now holds 7,655 phantom stock units, which already include 59 units gained through the company’s dividend reinvestment plan. No common shares were bought or sold, and ownership remains recorded as direct. The filing signals continued participation in the company’s deferred-compensation program rather than an open-market purchase.
Genuine Parts Company (GPC) director Richard Cox Jr. reported an insider transaction on July 2 2025 via SEC Form 4.
- Security type: 196 units of phantom stock, each economically equivalent to one GPC common share.
- Transaction code: A (acquisition) – no shares were sold.
- Implied price: $127.30 per unit, valuing the purchase at roughly $25,000.
- Post-transaction holdings: the director now owns 4,574 phantom stock units, including 36 units recently added through the Dividend Reinvestment Plan.
- Settlement choice: units are payable in cash or shares at the insider’s election under a prior deferral agreement.
No open-market common stock trade occurred; the filing reflects deferred compensation accrual rather than a cash outlay for actual shares.
