- Shares owned after transaction: not specified in this filing.
- Footnote F1: Each RSU represents a contingent right to receive one share of Microsoft common stock.

Context
- These RSUs are a compensation/award event (not a purchase or sale). Because delivery is deferred and contingent on separation, this is not an immediate transfer of shares or a market trade. Such awards are routine for directors and do not, by themselves, indicate the director's market view.
