Jose Minaya, a director of Moody's Corporation (MCO), reported transactions executed on 09/05/2025 showing acquisitions of both non-derivative and derivative economic interests. The Form 4 records an acquisition of 3.676 shares of Common Stock at a price of $498.37 per share, leaving 2,387.715 shares beneficially owned. It also reports acquisitions of 2.436 Phantom Stock Units (to be settled in cash after retirement) and 0.824 Dividend Equivalent units that convert one-for-one into Common Stock; following these items the report shows 962.28 derivative-equivalent shares and 2.578 derivative-equivalent shares reported as beneficially owned in the derivative table. The filing includes explanations that the 3.676 amount reflects an RSU deferred dividend reinvestment accrual and that the phantom units arise from a deferral election on retainer fees.

Jose Minaya, membro del consiglio di Moody's Corporation (MCO), ha dichiarato operazioni effettuate il 05/09/2025 che includono acquisizioni sia di interessi economici non derivati sia derivati. Il Modulo 4 riporta l'acquisto di 3,676 azioni di Common Stock al prezzo di $498,37 per azione, portando il totale delle azioni di cui ha la titolarità beneficiaria a 2.387,715. Segnala inoltre l'acquisizione di 2,436 Phantom Stock Units (liquidabili in contanti dopo il pensionamento) e di 0,824 Dividend Equivalent che si convertono 1:1 in azioni ordinarie; dopo queste voci il prospetto indica 962,28 azioni equivalenti derivate e 2,578 azioni equivalenti derivate riportate come possedute nella tabella sui derivati. Nel filing si spiega che le 3,676 azioni riflettono un accantonamento per reinvestimento di dividendi su RSU differiti e che le phantom units derivano da una scelta di differimento sui compensi di consulenza.

Insights

TL;DR: Director reported modest acquisitions and deferred-compensation conversions, reflecting compensation deferral and dividend reinvestment rather than open-market buying.

The Form 4 shows a director-level transaction tied to plan elections and RSU dividend reinvestment. The 3.676-share RSU dividend reinvestment accrual and the 2.436 phantom units stem from internal compensation mechanisms. The filing notes the phantom units convert one-for-one to common stock but are to be settled in cash after retirement, indicating these are deferred-compensation instruments rather than immediate stock grants. For governance review, these transactions are routine, discloseable compensation elections and do not indicate a change in board-level ownership policy.

TL;DR: Transactions are small, formulaic accruals and deferrals; they have limited immediate market impact.

The reported $498.37 per-share price for the 3.676 common-stock acquisition is recorded, and derivative instruments include 0.824 dividend equivalent units with $0 price noted. The phantom units are designated for cash settlement after retirement, reducing near-term dilution risk. Overall, the magnitude of the reported amounts is modest relative to typical institutional holdings, so investor-impact is likely minimal based on the disclosed figures alone.
