FAQ

What did Zillow Group (Z) report in this Form 4 for its CTO?

Zillow Group reported that its Chief Technology Officer received a stock option grant for 210,000 shares. The options were awarded as a compensatory grant, not an open-market trade, and are intended to align executive incentives with the company’s long-term performance.

How many stock options did Zillow Group’s CTO acquire in this filing?

The CTO acquired 210,000 stock options, each representing a right to buy one share of Zillow Group stock. These options were granted at a price of $0.00 per share, highlighting their role as equity-based compensation rather than a purchase on the open market.

What is the vesting schedule for the Zillow Group CTO’s 210,000 options?

The vesting schedule provides that 1/16th of the options becomes exercisable on the first vesting date. Another 1/16th vests on each subsequent quarterly vesting date set by Zillow, so the entire grant gradually becomes exercisable over multiple quarters.

Was this Zillow Group CTO transaction a stock purchase or a grant?

This transaction is a grant of stock options, classified as an acquisition under code “A” for grant, award, or other acquisition. It is not an open-market stock purchase or sale, but part of the CTO’s overall equity compensation package.

What does a $0.00 grant price mean for the Zillow Group CTO options?

A grant price of $0.00 per share reflects that these are compensatory stock options awarded without cash payment at grant. The Form 4 records the award terms and vesting details, rather than a cash transaction involving buying or selling shares in the market.

How many derivative securities does the Zillow Group CTO hold after this grant?

After this grant, the CTO holds 210,000 derivative securities in the form of stock options. The Form 4 indicates this total as directly owned, reflecting the full amount of options reported as beneficially owned following the transaction.
