How many Natural Resource Partners (NRP) units does the director own after this transaction?

What are the phantom units referenced in the NRP Form 4 filing?

The phantom units were rights to receive NRP common units on a one-for-one basis with related distribution equivalents. Granted in February 2025, they vested after one year and converted into 1,076 common units, while accrued quarterly distributions were paid in cash on the conversion date.

Did the NRP director pay a price to convert the phantom units into common units?

The conversion of phantom units into 1,076 NRP common units occurred at a stated price of $0.00 per unit. This indicates a compensation-type award rather than an open-market purchase, consistent with equity-based incentives that convert upon vesting without additional cash payment.

When did the NRP phantom units vest and convert into common units?

The phantom units vested on the one-year anniversary of their February 2025 grant and converted on February 10, 2026. On that date, 1,076 phantom units became common units and accrued quarterly distributions from the vesting period were paid in cash to the director.

How were distribution equivalents on NRP phantom units settled for the director?

Distribution equivalents accrued on the phantom units during the vesting period were paid in cash on the reporting date. This means that while 1,076 phantom units converted into common units, the associated quarterly distribution amounts were settled separately in cash to the director.
