Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Form 4 (filed 28 Jul 2025) reports Director Amanpal S. Bhutani’s receipt of 97 Class A RSUs in The New York Times Company (NYT) on 24 Jul 2025. The units were issued as dividend-equivalent RSUs under the 2020 Incentive Compensation Plan, mirroring cash dividends paid on existing equity awards. Transaction code A confirms an award at $0 cost. Post-transaction, Bhutani’s direct beneficial ownership rises to 29,531 shares.

No shares were sold and no derivatives were exercised, so the transaction is non-dilutive and has minimal effect on NYT’s share count or market float. While the grant is routine and quantitatively immaterial, continued insider accumulation—however small—can be interpreted as a modest signal of alignment with shareholders.

Positive

  • None.

Negative

  • None.

Insights

TL;DR: Routine 97-share RSU dividend grant; negligible market impact.

The award is an automatic dividend-equivalent adjustment tied to prior RSUs. At less than 0.02 % of NYT’s 165 m share float, it offers no new insight into insider sentiment or company fundamentals. Investors typically view such micro-grants as neutral.

TL;DR: Standard incentive-plan feature, governance neutral.

The filing reflects standard practice under the 2020 Incentive Compensation Plan. Because shares were already reserved, the grant adds no incremental dilution and raises no governance concerns.
