Linares Carlos G. 4

What Happened

• Carlos G. Linares, EVP, Chief Technology & Global New Products at Church & Dwight (CHD), was granted 850 performance stock units (PSUs) on January 27, 2026. The award is reported on a Form 4 as an "A" (award/acquisition). No per-share price or immediate cash value is listed because these are performance-based units rather than an open-market trade.
• The PSUs were certified by the company's Compensation and Human Capital Committee as earned for the performance period ending December 31, 2025. They will vest on March 1, 2026 and will be settled by delivery of common stock thereafter, subject to Linares’ continued service through the vesting date.

Context

• Such grants are routine executive compensation and do not, by themselves, indicate an immediate buying or selling signal.
