FAQ

What did Moody's (MCO) director Jose Minaya report in this Form 4?

Jose Minaya reported routine equity-related awards, not open-market trades. He received common shares from an RSU deferred dividend reinvestment and additional Phantom Stock Units tied to deferred retainer fees, increasing both his direct stock and deferred compensation-linked balances.

How many Moody's (MCO) shares does Jose Minaya hold after this filing?

After these awards, Jose Minaya directly holds 2,908.471 shares of Moody’s common stock. This figure reflects the addition of 6.627 shares received at no cost via an RSU deferred dividend reinvestment accrual reported in the Form 4.

What Phantom Stock Units did Jose Minaya receive in Moody's (MCO) filing?

He received 3.562 Phantom Stock Units arising from his election to defer retainer fees, at a reference price of $451.35 per unit. These units track common stock one-for-one but are scheduled to be settled in cash after his retirement.

Do the Phantom Stock Units in the Moody's (MCO) Form 4 convert into shares?

Each Phantom Stock Unit is tied one-for-one to Moody’s common stock for value tracking. However, the filing states these units are to be settled in cash after Jose Minaya’s retirement rather than being delivered as actual shares of stock.

Were Jose Minaya’s Moody's (MCO) transactions open-market buys or sells?

No, the reported transactions are coded as awards or other acquisitions, not open-market trades. They reflect an RSU deferred dividend reinvestment and Phantom Stock Units from deferred retainer fees, so they are compensation-related rather than discretionary buying or selling.
