What Happened Nicholas Alec Vlahos, Chief Financial Officer of Eastern Company (EML), acquired 907 shares on March 1, 2026 when an executive award vested under the company's 2020 Executive Stock Incentive Plan. The Form 4 reports the acquisition via exercise/conversion of a derivative (transaction code M); no sale occurred. No per-share price or total dollar value is listed in the filing.

Key Details

• Transaction date: 2026-03-01; Form 4 filed: 2026-03-12 (11 days after the transaction), which is a late filing.
• Shares acquired: 907 shares (from vesting of an award); price reported as N/A.
• Shares owned after transaction: not specified in this Form 4.
• Footnotes: F1 notes the 907 shares were granted under the 2020 Executive Stock Incentive Plan and vested due to continued employment. F2 clarifies that 500 shares were previously reported in error and are not part of this total.
• Transaction code: M (exercise/conversion of a derivative) — filing indicates vesting/acquisition rather than an open-market purchase or sale.

Context This filing documents a vesting/acquisition of shares tied to an executive award rather than a market purchase or sale. Because no shares were sold, the transaction does not provide a liquidity signal; it simply reflects compensation vesting. The late filing delays public disclosure of the transaction.
