Context

The $0.00 entries are typical for RSUs and performance-share grants—these are contingent/derivative awards that convert to shares only upon vesting or achievement of goals, so they are not immediate open‑market purchases.
The SAR/conversion entry indicates an instrument converted into 56.765 shares; the amendment corrects the exercise/conversion price which can affect reported economics and tax basis but does not change the number of shares granted.
Awards are commonly part of executive compensation and do not, by themselves, indicate that the insider is buying or selling stock in the market.

Footnotes (4)

[F1]Each RSU represents a contingent right to receive one share of Stepan Company common stock.
[F2]Vest ratably over three years beginning on the date shown.
[F3]The performance shares vest upon the certification of Stepan Company achieving certain performance goals for the performance period ending December 31, 2028.
[F4]This Form 4/A amends the reporting person's original Form 4 filed on March 4, 2026 (the "Original Filing"). The Original Filing inadvertently reported an incorrect stock appreciation right ("SAR") conversion/exercise price due to an administrative error in the pricing calculation. The correct conversion/exercise price for the reported transaction is $50.06 not $17.47 as previously reported. This amendment corrects the reported conversion/exercise price. No other aspects of the reported transaction are affected.
