Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Intuitive Surgical VP Corporate Controller Fredrik Widman reported multiple equity transactions on February 26, 2026. He acquired 611 and 378 shares of common stock through the vesting and conversion of previously granted restricted stock units (RSUs), and received a new award of 1,627 RSUs that will vest in 25% annual installments over four years.

After these transactions, his directly held common stock and RSU balances increased, reflecting routine compensation-related activity.
