Key Details

• Transaction date: 2026-09-05; Filing date: 2026-09-08.

• Shares owned after transaction: Not specified in this filing.
• Footnotes of note:
  • F1: Each RSU represents a contingent right to receive one share of Microsoft common stock.
  • F2: The RSUs are fully vested, but delivery of shares will occur on the first anniversary after the reporting person’s separation from service to the Board.
• Timeliness: Filing date is 2026-09-08 for a 2026-09-05 transaction; the filing does not indicate a late-report flag.

Context

• RSUs are a form of compensation/award (not a market purchase). Although these units are vested (meaning the right to the shares has been earned), delivery is deferred until after the director leaves the Board and then one additional year, so this is not an immediate change in tradable share ownership. Awards to directors are common and reflect compensation arrangements rather than direct market sentiment.
