Rhea-AI Filing Summary

On 07/08/2025, Western Union (WU) filed a Form 4 reporting that Chief Accounting Officer Barry D. Cooper received 28,802 restricted stock units (RSUs) at no cost. The award, recorded with transaction code “A,” vests in full on the third anniversary of the grant date. After the grant, Cooper directly owns 28,802 shares of WU common stock. No open-market purchases, sales, or derivative transactions were disclosed, indicating this is a standard element of executive compensation rather than a market-moving trade.

The filing modestly increases insider equity alignment but has no material impact on share count, cash flow, or near-term valuation.

Il 08/07/2025, Western Union (WU) ha presentato un Modulo 4 segnalando che il Chief Accounting Officer Barry D. Cooper ha ricevuto 28.802 unità di azioni vincolate (RSU) senza alcun costo. Il premio, registrato con il codice transazione “A,” matura completamente al terzo anniversario della data di concessione. Dopo l’assegnazione, Cooper possiede direttamente 28.802 azioni ordinarie di WU. Non sono state dichiarate operazioni di acquisto, vendita o derivati sul mercato aperto, indicando che si tratta di un elemento standard della retribuzione esecutiva piuttosto che di un’operazione che influenzi il mercato.

La segnalazione aumenta modestamente l’allineamento del patrimonio interno ma non ha alcun impatto significativo sul numero di azioni, sul flusso di cassa o sulla valutazione a breve termine.

El 08/07/2025, Western Union (WU) presentó un Formulario 4 informando que el Director de Contabilidad, Barry D. Cooper, recibió 28,802 unidades restringidas de acciones (RSU) sin costo alguno. La concesión, registrada con el código de transacción “A,” se consolida completamente en el tercer aniversario de la fecha de otorgamiento. Tras la concesión, Cooper posee directamente 28,802 acciones ordinarias de WU. No se divulgaron compras, ventas o transacciones derivadas en el mercado abierto, lo que indica que se trata de un componente estándar de la compensación ejecutiva y no de una operación que mueva el mercado.

La presentación aumenta modestamente la alineación patrimonial interna pero no tiene impacto material en el recuento de acciones, flujo de caja o valoración a corto plazo.

2025년 7월 8일, Western Union(WU)는 최고회계책임자 Barry D. Cooper가 28,802개의 제한 주식 단위(RSU)를 무상으로 받았음을 보고하는 Form 4를 제출했습니다. 이 수여는 거래 코드 “A”로 기록되었으며, 부여일로부터 3주년이 되는 날에 전액 완전히 확정됩니다. 수여 후 Cooper는 WU 보통주 28,802주를 직접 보유하게 됩니다. 공개 시장에서의 매수, 매도 또는 파생상품 거래는 공개되지 않아, 이는 시장에 영향을 미치는 거래가 아닌 임원 보상의 표준 요소임을 나타냅니다.

이번 제출은 내부자 지분 정렬을 다소 높이지만, 주식 수, 현금 흐름 또는 단기 평가에는 중대한 영향이 없습니다.

Après cette attribution, Cooper détient directement 28 802 actions ordinaires de WU. Aucune opération d’achat, de vente ou de dérivés sur le marché ouvert n’a été divulguée, ce qui indique qu’il s’agit d’un élément standard de la rémunération des dirigeants plutôt que d’une transaction susceptible d’influencer le marché.

Le dépôt augmente modestement l’alignement des intérêts des initiés mais n’a aucun impact significatif sur le nombre d’actions, les flux de trésorerie ou la valorisation à court terme.

Am 08.07.2025 reichte Western Union (WU) ein Formular 4 ein, in dem berichtet wurde, dass Chief Accounting Officer Barry D. Cooper 28.802 Restricted Stock Units (RSUs) kostenfrei erhalten hat.

Nach der Zuweisung besitzt Cooper direkt 28.802 Aktien der WU-Stammaktien. Es wurden keine Käufe, Verkäufe oder Derivatgeschäfte am offenen Markt offengelegt, was darauf hinweist, dass es sich um ein Standardbestandteil der Vorstandsvergütung handelt und nicht um einen marktrelevanten Handel.

Die Meldung erhöht die interne Eigenkapitalausrichtung geringfügig, hat aber keinen wesentlichen Einfluss auf die Aktienanzahl, den Cashflow oder die kurzfristige Bewertung.

Insights

TL;DR: Small RSU grant to CAO; neutral on valuation and liquidity.

The 28,802-share award represents an immaterial fraction of Western Union’s total shares outstanding (well under 0.01%). Because no cash changed hands and no shares were sold, the transaction neither signals insider bullishness nor places selling pressure on the stock. It is a routine retention incentive common in executive pay structures. From a cash-flow and dilution standpoint, the impact is negligible; therefore, the disclosure is not expected to affect consensus estimates or target prices.

TL;DR: Standard equity compensation; aligns CAO interests with shareholders.

Granting time-based RSUs that fully vest after three years encourages long-term decision-making and aligns the Chief Accounting Officer’s interests with equity performance. The lack of performance conditions means alignment is moderate rather than strong, but the multi-year vesting horizon still incentivizes retention. There are no red flags regarding option backdating, accelerated vesting, or unusual plan terms. Overall, the filing is corporate-governance neutral.
