LESL insider: Jeff White awarded 21,750 RSUs with 2026-2028 vesting

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Leslie's, Inc. reported a Form 4 showing that Jeffrey Justin White, Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer, was granted 21,750 restricted stock units (RSUs) on 10/05/2025. Each RSU converts to one share of common stock upon vesting. The RSUs vest in three equal annual installments on 10/05/2026, 10/05/2027, and 10/05/2028, subject to Mr. White’s continued service. The filing shows 21,750 shares beneficially owned following the grant and the transaction was reported on 10/07/2025 by an attorney-in-fact.

This is a standard, service‑based long-term incentive for an executive, designed to align management compensation with shareholder outcomes over a multi-year period. The RSUs are unvested and carry no exercise price; they only convert to shares if vesting conditions are met.

Positive

• 21,750 RSUs granted to CFO aligns executive pay with shareholder interests over three years
• Vesting schedule disclosed with clear dates: 10/05/2026, 10/05/2027, 10/05/2028

Negative

• All RSUs are unvested and contingent on continued service, so no immediate share lock-up benefit to investors
• Potential dilution of up to 21,750 shares if all RSUs vest and convert to common stock

Insights

Corporate Governance Analyst

Grant aligns CFO incentives with multi-year shareholder value.

The grant of 21,750 RSUs vests in three equal installments across 10/05/2026 to 10/05/2028

These awards reinforce retention for the CFO and link compensation to future share performance while remaining contingent on continued service. Watch vesting dates for potential share issuance and any subsequent disclosure on performance-based adjustments within the next three years.
