Insights
TL;DR: Director received vested RSUs and holds a long-dated option, indicating routine executive compensation alignment.
The Form 4 discloses standard equity compensation events: conversion of RSUs into 704 shares upon vesting and a separate grant of RSUs that vest next year. The 10,000-share option with a $109.55 exercise price vests pro rata over five years, consistent with multi-year retention incentives. These transactions are routine, disclosed under Rule 16 reporting, and do not indicate unusual insider trading or extraordinary corporate actions.
TL;DR: Modest equity vesting and an outstanding option are disclosed; impact on share count and ownership is limited.
The conversion of RSUs into 704 shares increases Mr. Gillette's direct holdings by that amount. The additional 1,587 RSUs remain subject to typical vesting conditions through 09/10/2026. The 10,000-share option represents potential future dilution if exercised, subject to vesting schedule and exercise price of $109.55. None of the reported items alone appears materially dilutive or likely to change control stakes.
