[Form 4] Noble Corporation plc Insider Trading Activity

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Noble Corporation plc director Douglas Patrice D reported the vesting and settlement of restricted stock units on 09/04/2025. The Form 4 shows two RSU settlements: 1,276 RSUs converted 1-for-1 into A Ordinary Shares and 851 RSUs settled in cash at $28.25 per share for an aggregate cash payment of $24,040.75. Following these transactions, the reporting person beneficially owns 5,025 A Ordinary Shares as corrected from a prior Form 3 rounding error, and total reported RSU-derived share holdings are 6,974 and 6,123 in the two reported lines respectively. The filing corrects the previously reported share count from 3,750 to 3,749 due to a rounding adjustment.

Insights

Securities Analyst

TL;DR: Routine executive equity vesting and minor correction; limited market impact.

The Form 4 documents standard compensation-driven equity activity rather than open-market trading. Vesting produced both share issuance and cash settlement, with 1,276 RSUs issued as A Ordinary Shares and 851 RSUs settled for $24,040.75. The corrected ownership from 3,750 to 3,749 is an immaterial rounding fix. These events change insider holdings modestly but do not indicate new purchases, sales for liquidity, or material shifts in insider conviction.

Corporate Governance Expert

TL;DR: Administrative correction and routine RSU vesting; governance signals are neutral.

The filing reflects expected compensation mechanics: mixed-share-and-cash settlement per plan terms with 60%/40% settlement mechanics noted for RSUs. The signature by an attorney-in-fact and the explicit correction to prior filings show attention to disclosure compliance. No departures, option exercises beyond vesting, or unusual transactions are reported.

Explanation of Responses:

1. The amount corrects the number of shares reported on the form 3 filed September 5th, 2024. The reported holding was 3,750, which was incorrectly rounded up by one share. The correct number of shares was 3,749 and this form 4 corrects this rounding error by adjusting the number of shares reported down by one share.

2. Upon vesting, each restricted stock unit (RSU) will become payable 60% in A Ordinary Shares on a 1 for 1 basis and 40% in cash based on the cash value of the underlying A Ordinary Shares on the date of vesting.

3. The RSUs vest one year from the date of grant.

4. Restricted stock units settled in cash at $28.25 for an aggregate amount of $24,040.75.
