Royalty Pharma plc (RPRX) – SEC Form 4 filing discloses that new board member Elizabeth H. Weatherman received two equity grants on 31 Jul 2025.
- Initial grant: 2,752 Class A ordinary share RSUs under the 2020 Independent Director Equity Incentive Plan.
- Pro-rated annual grant: 5,806 Class A ordinary share RSUs under the same plan.
Both RSU tranches carry a $0 purchase price and are scheduled to vest 100 % on the earlier of (i) one-year anniversary of grant or (ii) the first subsequent annual shareholder meeting, subject to plan terms.
Following the grants, Weatherman’s beneficial ownership rises to 8,558 Class A shares, all held directly. No derivative securities were reported.
The filing reflects routine director compensation rather than an open-market purchase; therefore it does not inject fresh cash into the company, nor does it immediately alter share count materially. Nonetheless, the equity-based award modestly aligns the new director’s incentives with shareholders.
