"Restricted Stock Units ("RSUs") acquired in respect of previously reported RSUs awarded under The New York Times Company 2020 Incentive Compensation Plan"
Restricted stock units (RSUs) are a company promise to give an employee shares of stock (or cash equivalent) in the future, but only after certain conditions—usually staying with the company for a set time or hitting performance goals—are met. Investors watch RSUs because when they vest they increase the number of shares outstanding and can lead insiders to sell shares, affecting share price, company dilution and the true cost of employee pay.

Class A Common Stock financial
"cash dividends paid on The New York Times Company's Class A Common Stock ("Dividend Equivalent RSUs")"
Class A common stock is a category of a company’s shares that carries a specific set of ownership rights—most commonly defined voting power and claims on dividends—set out in the company’s charter. For investors it matters because the class determines how much influence you have over corporate decisions, the share’s likely dividend and trading behavior, and how it compares in value to other share classes, like choosing a particular seat with different privileges at the company’s decision-making table.

FAQ

What insider transaction did Beth A. Brooke report at NEW YORK TIMES CO (NYT)?

Beth A. Brooke reported receiving 54 shares of Class A Common Stock as a grant of Restricted Stock Units. These RSUs were issued as dividend equivalents on previously awarded RSUs, rather than through an open-market purchase or sale, and reflect routine equity compensation.

After the reported grant, Beth A. Brooke directly holds 19,822 shares of NEW YORK TIMES CO Class A Common Stock. This total includes the 54 dividend-equivalent Restricted Stock Units awarded in the transaction and represents her direct ownership position following the filing.

Was cash paid for the 54 NYT shares reported in Beth A. Brooke’s Form 4?

No cash was paid for the 54 shares; the reported price per share is $0.00. The shares were granted as Restricted Stock Units issued as dividend equivalents on existing RSU awards, making this a non-cash compensation-related acquisition rather than a market trade.

What are Dividend Equivalent RSUs in the context of NEW YORK TIMES CO (NYT)?

Dividend Equivalent RSUs are Restricted Stock Units granted with a value equal to cash dividends paid on NYT Class A stock. They are issued in respect of previously reported RSUs and mirror dividend payments, providing additional RSUs instead of cash distributions on those underlying awards.

How do the vesting terms work for the Dividend Equivalent RSUs reported by NYT director Beth A. Brooke?

Dividend Equivalent RSUs tied to vested RSUs are fully vested when granted. Those tied to unvested RSUs will vest on the same date the underlying unvested RSUs vest, which is on the company’s first annual meeting following the initial RSU grant, aligning timing with prior awards.

Is Beth A. Brooke’s NYT Form 4 transaction a buy or sell signal for investors?

The Form 4 shows a compensation-related RSU grant, not an open-market trade. The 54 Dividend Equivalent RSUs were awarded at no cost as part of NYT’s 2020 Incentive Compensation Plan, so the filing reflects routine equity compensation rather than a discretionary buy or sell decision.
