VAN PAASSCHEN FRITS D 4

What Happened
Frits D. van Paasschen, a director of Williams‑Sonoma, received a grant of 1,107 restricted stock units (RSUs) on June 18, 2026. The award is reported as a derivative acquisition (transaction code A) at $0.00 per unit — the filing shows no cash paid. Each RSU represents a contingent right to one share of WSM common stock (see footnote F1). This is a compensation award rather than an open‑market purchase or sale.

Key Details

• Transaction date: 2026-06-18; Form 4 filed: 2026-06-22 (timely, within the two‑business‑day filing window). Accession: 0000719955-26-000168.
• Security and amount: 1,107 Restricted Stock Units (derivative) reported at $0.00 per unit.
• Transaction code: A (award/grant).
• Shares owned after transaction: Not provided in the supplied data.
• Footnotes: F1 — each RSU converts to one share of WSM common stock if and when vested; F2 — RSUs vest on the earlier of one year from grant or the day before the next regularly scheduled annual meeting.
• No sale or exercise occurred — this is an award of future contingent rights to stock (common director compensation).

Context
RSU grants to directors are routine compensation and do not represent an immediate purchase or sale of underlying shares. Because these are contingent awards with a vesting condition (per F2), they only convert to actual shares if/when vesting occurs. Such grants signal compensation alignment with shareholders but are not by themselves a directional market signal.
