Atkinson Tracy A 4

What Happened
Tracy A. Atkinson, a director of Citizens Financial Group (CFG), was granted 2,608 restricted stock units (RSUs) on April 23, 2026. The Form 4 reports the acquisition at $0.00 per share because this was an award (transaction code A), not an open-market purchase. The filing does not state a dollar value or a vesting schedule.

Context
RSU awards to non-employee directors are common as part of board compensation. RSUs represent a right to receive company shares (or their cash value) in the future, typically subject to vesting and possible tax withholding; the Form 4 does not describe the vesting terms. Because this is an award rather than a market purchase or sale, it should be viewed as routine compensation rather than a direct bullish or bearish trading signal.
