Juan Carlos Dalto, a director of Lifeway Foods, Inc. (LWAY), reported changes in his holdings tied to director compensation and previously granted awards. The filing shows a disposition of 4,751 shares of common stock and the acquisition (by vesting or deferral) of derivative awards that translate to 2,815 shares of common stock: 1,600, 3,101, and 2,710 RSU tranches (with portions deferred or contingent on continued service) and 541 shares of phantom stock acquired via deferral of cash board fees. Many RSUs are vested but settlement has been deferred under the company’s Non-Employee Director Equity and Deferred Compensation Plan; deferred awards become payable when the reporting person ceases to serve as a director. Some RSU tranches remain time‑vesting and are contingent on continued board service.

Juan Carlos Dalto, un direttore di Lifeway Foods, Inc. (LWAY), ha comunicato cambiamenti nelle sue partecipazioni legati alla retribuzione dei consiglieri e ai premi precedentemente assegnati. La presentazione mostra una disposizione di 4.751 azioni ordinarie e l'acquisizione (per maturazione o differimento) di premi derivati che si traducono in 2.815 azioni ordinarie: 1.600, 3.101 e 2.710 tranche di RSU (con parti differite o condizionate al mantenimento dell'incarico) e 541 azioni di stock fantasma acquisite tramite differimento di compensi deliberati in contanti per il consiglio. Molte RSU sono maturate ma l’adempimento è stato differito ai sensi del piano di Equity per Amministratori Non Dipendenti e Retribuzione Differita della società; i premi differiti diventano pagabili quando la persona che riferisce cessa di svolgere l’incarico di consigliere. Alcune tranche di RSU mantengono la maturazione nel tempo e sono condizionate al continuo servizio nel consiglio.

Juan Carlos Dalto, director de Lifeway Foods, Inc. (LWAY), informó cambios en sus participaciones vinculados a la compensación de directores y a premios concedidos anteriormente. La presentación muestra una disposición de 4.751 acciones de acciones ordinarias y la adquisición (mediante vencimiento o aplazamiento) de premios derivados que se traducen en 2.815 acciones de acciones ordinarias: 1.600, 3.101 y 2.710 tramos RSU (con porciones diferidas o condicionadas a la continuidad del servicio) y 541 acciones de stock fantasma adquiridas mediante el aplazamiento de honorarios en efectivo del consejo. Muchas RSU están vestidas pero la liquidación se ha diferido bajo el Plan de Equidad y Retribución Diferida para Directores No Empleados de la empresa; los premios diferidos se vuelven pagaderos cuando la persona que informa deja de servir como director. Algunos tramos de RSU siguen con vesting por tiempo y dependen del continuo servicio en la junta.

Juan Carlos Dalto, Lifeway Foods, Inc. (LWAY)의 이사로서, 이사 보상 및 이전에 부여된 보상과 관련된 보유 지분의 변동을 보고했습니다. 제출서에는 보통주 4,751주 처분이 표시되며, 파생 보상(베스팅 또는 이연)에 의한 취득으로 2,815주의 보통주에 해당합니다: 1,600, 3,101, 2,710 RSU 트랜치(일부가 이연되거나 지속적 재직에 따라 조건부)와 현금 이사회 수수료의 이연으로 취득한 541주의 팬텀 주식. 다수의 RSU는 이미 vest되었지만, 회사의 비-임원 이사 주식 및 지연 보상 계획에 따라 결제가 연기되었습니다; 이연된 보상은 보고자가 이사로서 직무를 멈출 때 지급됩니다. 일부 RSU 트랜치는 여전히 시간에 따라 vesting되며 이사회 지속 재직에 의존합니다.

Juan Carlos Dalto, un administrateur de Lifeway Foods, Inc. (LWAY), a signalé des changements dans ses avoirs liés à la rémunération des administrateurs et à des awards accordés précédemment. Le dossier montre une cession de 4 751 actions ordinaires et l’acquisition (par acquisition par vesting ou différé) de récompenses dérivées qui se traduisent par 2 815 actions ordinaires : 1 600, 3 101 et 2 710 tranches RSU (avec des portions différées ou conditionnées à la poursuite du service) et 541 actions d’actions fantômes acquises via le report des frais du conseil en numéraire. De nombreuses RSU sont acquises mais le règlement a été différé en vertu du plan d’équité et de rémunération différée pour les administrateurs non salariés de la société; les récompenses différées deviennent payables lorsque la personne qui dépose le rapport cesse d’être administrateur. Certaines tranches RSU restent soumises à une vesting temporel et dépendent du maintien du service au sein du conseil.

Juan Carlos Dalto, ein Direktor von Lifeway Foods, Inc. (LWAY), meldete Änderungen in seinen Beteiligungen, die mit der Vergütung von Direktoren und zuvor gewährten Zuwendungen zusammenhängen. Die Einreichung zeigt eine Veräußerung von 4.751 Aktien der Stammaktien und den Erwerb (durch Vesting oder Aufschub) derivativer Zuwendungen, die in 2.815 Aktien der Stammaktien umgerechnet werden: 1.600, 3.101 und 2.710 RSU-Tranchen (mit teilweise aufschiebbaren oder fortbestehenden Dienstenanteilen) sowie 541 Aktien von Phantomaktien, erworben durch Aufschub von Barauszahlungen für den Vorstand. Viele RSUs sind vestet, aber die Abwicklung wurde gemäß dem Non-Employee Director Equity and Deferred Compensation Plan des Unternehmens aufgeschoben; aufgeschobene Zuwendungen werden zahlbar, wenn die meldende Person ihre Tätigkeit als Direktor beendet. Einige RSU-Tranchen unterliegen weiterhin zeitbasierter Vesting und setzen fortlaufenden Dienst im Vorstand voraus.
