Richardson Electronics (RELL) – Form 4 filed 24-Jul-2025
Director & Chief Operating Officer Wendy Diddell reported a routine tax-withholding transaction tied to the vesting of a previously granted restricted-stock award. On 22-Jul-2025 she surrendered 2,606 common shares (transaction code “F”) to the company at the closing price of $9.64 to satisfy income-tax obligations; no open-market sale occurred. After the net settlement, Diddell directly owns 127,794 RELL shares. No derivative securities were involved. The filing is an administrative event and does not signal a shift in insider sentiment or company fundamentals.
On 21 Jul 2025, Richardson Electronics (RELL) COO & Director Wendy Diddell filed a Form 4 reporting two equity grants under the company’s 2011 Long-Term Incentive Plan:
- 20,000 restricted shares of common stock issued at $0 cost; the award vests ratably over three years beginning on the first anniversary of the grant.
- Employee stock option for 20,000 shares at an exercise price of $9.73; first exercisable 21 Jul 2026 and vesting 20 % annually thereafter, with expiration on 21 Jul 2035.
No shares were sold. After the transactions, Diddell directly owns 130,400 shares of RELL.
The filing reflects routine compensation rather than an open-market purchase, signalling insider alignment but also introducing potential dilution from the new option grant.
Richardson Electronics (RELL) Form 4: CFO, CAO and Corporate Secretary Robert J. Ben received new equity awards on 21-Jul-2025 under the company’s 2011 Amended & Restated Long-Term Incentive Plan.
- Restricted stock: 8,500 common shares granted at $0; vests ratably over three years beginning on the first anniversary of grant. Direct ownership rises to 62,534 shares.
- Stock options: 10,000 options with a $9.73 strike; first 20 % vests 21-Jul-2026, fully vested by 2029, and expire 21-Jul-2035.
No shares were sold, cash was paid, or financial guidance updated. The grant increases insider exposure and signals commitment, while adding only minor potential dilution (well under 1 % of outstanding shares).
Richardson Electronics (RELL) – SEC Form 4: EVP Global Supply Chain Kathleen McNally reported two equity awards dated 21 Jul 2025. She received 5,000 restricted common shares at $0, lifting her direct stake to 46,169 shares. She also obtained an option for 7,500 shares at an exercise price of $9.73, first exercisable 21 Jul 2026, expiring 21 Jul 2035, and vesting 20 % annually over five years. Both grants were issued under the company’s 2011 Long-Term Incentive Plan and involve no open-market purchase. The awards slightly increase insider ownership and create minimal potential dilution.
Form 4 filing for Richardson Electronics (RELL) dated 07/23/2025 details fresh equity awards to EVP Canvys, Jens F. Ruppert.

- Stock options: 10,000 options with a $9.73 exercise price, granted 07/21/2025; vest 20% annually from 07/21/2026 through 07/21/2030 and expire 07/21/2035.
- Post-transaction holdings: 39,500 common shares held directly plus 10,000 vested/unvested options.
- Ruppert is classified as an Officer (EVP Canvys) and filed individually.
No sales or dispositions were reported, indicating an incremental increase in management’s direct ownership stake.
On 21 Jul 2025, Richardson Electronics (RELL) director James Benham filed Form 4 disclosing an award of 5,139 restricted shares of common stock (transaction code “A”). The grant, made under the company’s Amended & Restated 2011 Long-Term Incentive Plan, vested immediately at an exercise price of $0. Following the transaction Benham now directly owns 19,345 RELL shares.
This is a routine equity-compensation grant rather than an open-market purchase, so it adds only modest incremental alignment and carries no direct cash signal. Given the company’s public float, the share amount is immaterial to supply and has limited market impact.
