Key Details

• Transaction date: 2026-09-05 (reported on Form 4 filed 2026-09-08)
• Transaction type/code: A (Grant/Award/Acquisition); derivative RSUs
• Price per unit: $0.00; Reported acquisition of 230.138 RSUs (total cash paid: $0)
• Shares owned after transaction: Not specified in this filing
• Footnotes: F1 — each RSU equals a contingent right to one MSFT share; F2 — RSUs are fully vested but delivery is deferred until 30 days after separation from board service
• Timeliness: Filing appears timely (Form 4 filed within required reporting window)

Context

• These were not an open‑market purchase or sale but a compensation award (RSUs). Although the RSUs are vested, share issuance is deferred until after the director leaves board service, so no immediate share sale or purchase occurred. Awards and vesting-related filings report compensation arrangements and do not, by themselves, indicate the insider’s market view.
