MCDILL JOHN S 4

What Happened

The RSUs are reported at a grant value of $168.06 per unit, totaling approximately $208,394. This is an award (compensation), not an open-market purchase or sale.

Key Details

• Transaction date and value: 2026-02-03; 1,240 RSUs at $168.06 each; total value ≈ $208,394.
• Instrument: Restricted Share Units (derivative award). Each RSU represents a contingent right to receive one share of common stock (Footnote F1).
• Vesting: RSUs will vest and be delivered three years from the grant date under the Company’s 1998 Long-Term Incentive Plan (Footnote F2).
• Shares owned after transaction: Not disclosed in this Form 4 filing.
• Filing timeliness: Reported on 2026-02-04 for a 2026-02-03 grant (filed the next day; no late filing indicated).

Context
RSU grants are a common form of executive compensation and align retention incentives; they do not represent an immediate purchase of stock. Because these units vest in three years, they are tied to future retention/performance and should be interpreted as compensation rather than a direct bullish signal.
