Doering Edmund J. 4

What Happened

• Edmund J. Doering, Senior Vice President & Chief Investment Officer of Ball Corporation, was granted two equity awards on Feb 19, 2026 totaling 9,571 units: 2,645 derivative units that convert one-for-one into common shares (price N/A; footnote F1) and 6,926 restricted stock units awarded under Ball’s Stock and Cash Incentive Plan (acquired at $0.00; footnote F2). The filing shows these were awards/grants (code A); no cash was paid for these awards and no immediate sale occurred. The filing does not list a dollar value for the awards.

Key Details

• Transaction date: 2026-02-19; Form 4 filed 2026-02-23 (appears timely — within two business days).
• Award specifics: 2,645 units convert one-for-one to common stock (F1); 6,926 RSUs vest on the third anniversary of the award date, subject to continued employment (F2).
• Reported acquisition price: N/A or $0.00 (no purchase price paid).
• Shares owned after transaction: not disclosed in the provided excerpt of the filing.
• Other footnotes in the filing reference stock option terms (F4–F6 describe non-qualified options vesting over ~4 years and a 10-year expiration), but those option terms do not appear to be the granted awards in these two A-coded transactions.

Context

• These are compensation awards (time‑vesting/convertible instruments), not open‑market purchases or sales. RSUs and similar awards generally convert to common shares only after vesting and are taxable as compensation when they vest; they do not necessarily indicate an immediate insider market view. Retail investors should watch for future vesting dates and any subsequent open‑market selling or buying tied to these shares.
