[Form 4] Provident Financial Services, Inc. Insider Trading Activity

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Norfolk Southern Corp. (NSC) filed a Form 4 disclosing that director Richard H. Anderson received 200 Restricted Stock Units (RSUs) on 31 Jul 2025 under the company’s Long-Term Incentive Plan. Each RSU is economically equivalent to one common share and will vest in full one year after the grant date. After this routine equity award, Anderson now beneficially owns approximately 1,377.7999 derivative securities tied to NSC stock, held directly. No common shares were bought or sold, and the filing contains no indication of a 10b5-1 trading plan or any change in ownership form. This Form 4 therefore represents standard director compensation rather than a market-moving transaction.

Insights

Corporate Governance Analyst

TL;DR — 200-unit RSU grant to NSC director is routine; negligible valuation impact.

The filing shows a modest equity grant to non-executive director Richard Anderson, consistent with typical board compensation practices. The 200 RSUs equate to less than 0.0001% of NSC’s outstanding shares, offering minimal dilution. There are no open-market purchases or sales, so the transaction does not signal insider sentiment. Overall, this disclosure is governance-related housekeeping with neutral impact on the investment thesis.
