Bruce Van Saun, a director of Moody's Corporation (MCO), reported acquisitions of Moody's common stock on 09/05/2025. The Form 4 shows two non-derivative acquisitions recorded as A: one listing 9,305.539 shares at $502.22 and a second listing 9,315.749 shares at $498.37, each reported as direct beneficial ownership following the transactions. Table II records 0.824 dividend equivalent shares from an exempt grant of unvested RSUs that will vest and settle with the underlying award. The filing was signed by a power of attorney on behalf of Mr. Van Saun on 09/08/2025. This appears to reflect routine director stock accruals and dividend reinvestment rather than open-market purchases or sales.

Bruce Van Saun, membro del consiglio di Moody's Corporation (MCO), ha dichiarato acquisizioni di azioni ordinarie Moody's in data 09/05/2025. Il Modulo 4 riporta due acquisizioni non-derivative classificate come A: la prima di 9.305,539 azioni a $502,22 e la seconda di 9.315,749 azioni a $498,37, entrambe indicate come proprietà diretta dopo le operazioni. La Tabella II mostra 0,824 azioni equivalenti da dividendo derivanti da una sovvenzione esente di RSU non maturate che verranno maturate e liquidate con il premio sottostante. Il documento è stato firmato con procura per conto del sig. Van Saun il 09/08/2025. Sembra trattarsi di accantonamenti azionari ordinari del direttore e reinvestimento dei dividendi, non di compravendite sul mercato aperto.

브루스 밴 손(Bruce Van Saun) Moody's Corporation(MCO) 이사가 2025-09-05에 Moody's 보통주를 취득한 사실을 신고했습니다. Form 4에는 A로 표시된 두 건의 비파생 취득이 기재되어 있으며, 하나는 9,305.539주를 주당 $502.22에, 다른 하나는 9,315.749주를 주당 $498.37에 각각 직접적 실소유로 보고하고 있습니다. 표 II에는 기한 미도래 RSU의 면제 수여로 인한 0.824 배당 상당 주식이 기록되어 있으며 이는 기초 수여와 함께 성숙 및 정산될 예정입니다. 신고서는 2025-09-08에 밴 손 씨를 대신한 위임장에 의해 서명되었습니다. 이는 공개시장 매수·매도가 아니라 이사의 통상적인 주식 적립 및 배당 재투자에 해당하는 것으로 보입니다.

Bruce Van Saun, administrateur de Moody's Corporation (MCO), a déclaré des acquisitions d'actions ordinaires Moody's le 05/09/2025. Le formulaire 4 indique deux acquisitions non dérivées notées A : l'une de 9 305,539 actions à 502,22 $ et l'autre de 9 315,749 actions à 498,37 $, chacune rapportée comme propriété directe après les opérations. Le tableau II enregistre 0,824 actions équivalentes de dividendes issues d'une attribution exonérée de RSU non acquises qui seront acquises et réglées avec la contrepartie sous-jacente. Le dépôt a été signé par procuration pour M. Van Saun le 08/09/2025. Cela semble refléter des affectations d'actions habituelles pour un administrateur et le réinvestissement des dividendes, plutôt que des achats ou ventes sur le marché ouvert.

Bruce Van Saun, Director von Moody's Corporation (MCO), meldete den Erwerb von Moody's Stammaktien am 05.09.2025. Das Formular 4 weist zwei nicht-derivative Erwerbe mit Kennzeichnung A aus: eine Position über 9.305,539 Aktien zu $502.22 und eine weitere über 9.315,749 Aktien zu $498.37, jeweils als direkte wirtschaftliche Eigentümerschaft nach den Transaktionen gemeldet. Tabelle II verzeichnet 0,824 dividendenäquivalente Aktien aus einer befreiten Zuteilung unverfallbarer RSUs, die mit dem zugrunde liegenden Award vesten und abgewickelt werden. Die Einreichung wurde am 08.09.2025 per Vollmacht im Namen von Herrn Van Saun unterzeichnet. Dies scheint normale Aktienansammlungen eines Direktors und Reinvestition von Dividenden widerzuspiegeln, nicht Käufe oder Verkäufe am offenen Markt.

Positive
  • Director increased beneficial ownership through accrued restricted stock and RSU dividend reinvestment, enhancing insider alignment with shareholders
  • Clear disclosure of transaction types and amounts including dividend equivalents, supporting transparency
Negative
  • None.

Insights

TL;DR: Routine director stock accruals and dividend reinvestment recorded; no open-market sale or material dilution reported.

The Form 4 discloses non-derivative additions to Bruce Van Saun's beneficial position in Moody's through accrued restricted stock/RSU dividend reinvestment mechanisms on 09/05/2025. Two entries show direct beneficial ownership figures after the reported transactions and a small dividend-equivalent accrual that will settle with unvested RSUs. There is no indication of cash purchases or sales, no option exercises, and no change in control implications. For investors, this is a standard insider record-keeping filing documenting compensation-related share accretion rather than a market-directed transaction.

TL;DR: Disclosure aligns with standard Section 16 reporting for director awards; procedural, not strategic, disclosure.

The filing reflects compliance with Section 16 reporting obligations after dividend reinvestment and RSU-related accruals. The descriptions identify restricted stock deferred dividend reinvestment accruals and RSU deferred dividend reinvestment accruals, plus dividend equivalents tied to unvested RSUs. The use of a power of attorney signature is documented. There are no red flags such as late reporting language beyond the form content, nor any governance actions or related-party transactions disclosed in this Form 4.
