Williams‑Sonoma (WSM) Director Andrew Campion Receives Award

What Happened

• Andrew Campion, a director of Williams‑Sonoma, was granted 118 deferred stock units on 2026-08-03. The units were reported as a derivative award (transaction code A) with an acquisition price of $0.00 (no cash exchanged). Each unit represents a contingent right to one share of WSM common stock.

Key Details

• Transaction date: 2026-08-03; Form 4 filed 2026-08-04 (appears timely).
• Award details: 118 deferred stock units (DSUs) @ $0.00; total cash exchanged: $0.
• Shares/units owned after transaction: not specified in the provided filing.
• Footnotes: (1) Each DSU equals the contingent right to one WSM share. (2) These DSUs were elected in lieu of the cash portion of the director annual retainer under the 2001 Long‑Term Incentive Plan and the Director Compensation Policy. (3) The DSUs are fully vested and will be delivered in June 2029, subject to earlier delivery upon certain events.
• Transaction type: Compensation award (routine director compensation), not a market purchase or sale.

Context

• Deferred stock units are not immediate shares — they are a promise to deliver shares later (here, June 2029). Because this is a routine compensation grant elected in lieu of cash, it should be viewed as standard director pay rather than a direct bullish or bearish trading signal.
