How many Meritage Homes (MTH) restricted stock units were granted to Deborah Henretta?

The Form 4 shows a grant of 3,100 restricted stock units of Meritage Homes common stock. This award increases her unvested restricted stock unit balance and is structured to vest in full after a multi-year service period with the company’s board.

When do Deborah Henretta’s new Meritage Homes restricted stock units vest?

How many unvested Meritage Homes (MTH) restricted stock units does Deborah Henretta now hold?

After the reported grant, Deborah Henretta directly holds 9,300 unvested restricted stock units. The Form 4 indicates this balance reflects restricted stock units that have not yet vested and therefore remain subject to the company’s vesting conditions and timelines.

Was this Meritage Homes (MTH) Form 4 a stock purchase or an equity award?
