Microsoft Director Mason Mark Receives 0.787 Restricted Stock Units

What Happened

• Mason Mark, a director of Microsoft Corporation (MSFT), received an award of 0.787 restricted stock units (RSUs) on 2026-09-10. The Form 4 reports the acquisition as a derivative grant (transaction code A) at $0.00; the reported transaction value is $0.

Key Details

• Transaction date: 2026-09-10; filing date: 2026-09-11.
• Transaction type/code: Award/Grant (A) — derivative RSUs acquired, $0.00 per unit.
• Footnotes from the filing:
  • F1: Each RSU represents a contingent right to receive one share of Microsoft common stock.
  • F2: Dividend equivalent rights accrue with dividends and vest proportionately with the RSUs.
  • F3: The RSUs are fully vested; actual delivery of shares to the reporting person will occur on the first anniversary after the reporting person's separation from service to the Board.
• Shares owned after the transaction: not specified in the filing.
• Filing timeliness: reported the day after the transaction (no late filing indicated).

Context

• This was an equity award (not a cash purchase or sale). Although the RSUs are fully vested, delivery of the underlying shares is deferred until one year after the director leaves Board service, so this grant does not result in immediate share ownership transferable on the open market. Such awards are routine compensation for directors and do not, by themselves, indicate a buy or sell signal.
