MCLAUGHLIN MARK D 4

What Happened

• Mark D. McLaughlin, a director of Qualcomm Inc. (QCOM), was granted 538 deferred stock units (DSUs) on 2026-03-31. The Form 4 reports the grant as an award (transaction code A) at $0.00 per unit; the DSUs were issued in lieu of a cash retainer and are 100% vested on the grant date.

Key Details

• Transaction date: 2026-03-31 (Filed: 2026-04-02). Filing appears timely (filed within the usual 2-business-day window).
• Award: 538 Deferred Stock Units (DSUs); reported acquisition price $0.00 (award/grant).
• Shares owned after transaction: Not specified in this Form 4 filing.
• Footnote F1: DSUs will be settled in shares (or partially in cash if elected within 60 days) on the earlier of (1) the third anniversary of the grant, (2) death, (3) disability, or (4) a change in control. Any partial cash settlement will be reported later as a disposition if applicable.
• Footnote F2: Some securities are held by Mark and Karen McLaughlin as trustees of the McLaughlin Revocable Trust U/A DTD 02/20/2001 (indicates trust holdings, not a personal sale/purchase).

Context

• This is a compensation award to a director (common practice) rather than an open-market purchase or sale; it does not by itself signal a trading view. The DSUs are vested immediately but will be converted to stock (or cash per election) only upon settlement events described above.
