Decker Edward P. 4

What Happened Edward P. Decker, Chair, President and CEO of Home Depot (HD), received compensation grants on March 25, 2026: 11,548 performance-based restricted stock units (RSUs) and derivative awards covering 30,192 shares (stock options). Both items are reported as acquisitions at $0.00 (i.e., awarded, not purchased). These are compensation grants rather than open-market purchases or sales.

Key Details

• Transaction date: March 25, 2026; Form 4 filed March 26, 2026 (filed the next day, within the typical 2-business-day reporting window).
• Grants: 11,548 performance-based RSUs (acquired at $0.00) and 30,192 derivative shares (stock options) (acquired at $0.00).
• Vesting / conditions:
  • RSUs (F1): Issued under The Home Depot, Inc. Omnibus Stock Incentive Plan; vest 50% after 30 months and 50% after 60 months. The 2026 RSUs will be forfeited if FY2026 operating profit is less than 90% of the MI P target.
  • Options (F2): Issued under the same plan; vest in 25% annual increments beginning on the second anniversary of the grant date.
• Shares owned after transaction: not disclosed in this filing.
• No indication in the filing of immediate exercise, sale, tax-withholding shares, or a 10b5-1 plan.

Context The 30,192 derivative units represent option-style awards, not exercised stock—so no cash raised or shares sold. These grants are standard executive compensation tied to performance and time-based vesting and should be viewed as routine awards rather than a direct bullish or bearish market signal.
