FAQ

What insider transaction did Starbucks (SBUX) report for Richard E. Allison Jr.?

Starbucks reported that director Richard E. Allison Jr. received 3,991 restricted stock units on March 25, 2026. The units were fully vested at grant and deferred under the company’s Deferred Compensation Plan for Non-Employee Directors, reflecting equity-based compensation rather than an open-market share purchase.

Did the Starbucks (SBUX) director buy or sell shares in this Form 4 filing?

The director did not buy or sell shares on the market; he received 3,991 shares as a fully vested restricted stock unit grant. The award was deferred under a non-employee director compensation plan, so it represents stock-based compensation instead of a discretionary trade in Starbucks stock.

How many Starbucks (SBUX) shares does Richard E. Allison Jr. hold after this grant?

Following the March 25, 2026 grant, Richard E. Allison Jr. holds 39,699.049 Starbucks shares, including deferred units. This total also includes 698.714 deferred stock units that were credited as dividends through a dividend reinvestment plan linked to his existing deferred stock holdings.

The filing states the 3,991 restricted stock units were fully vested at the time of the March 25, 2026 grant. They were deferred under the Deferred Compensation Plan for Non-Employee Directors, meaning settlement is postponed according to the plan’s rules rather than delivered immediately as common stock.

How were dividends on Starbucks (SBUX) deferred units treated for the director?

The filing notes that 698.714 deferred stock units represent dividends on existing deferred stock units. These were credited under a dividend reinvestment plan, effectively reinvesting cash dividends into additional deferred stock units instead of paying those dividends in cash to the director.
