BRADFORD DANA 4

What Happened
Bradford Dana, a director of Meritage Homes Corp. (MTH), received a grant of 3,100 restricted stock units (RSUs) on February 19, 2026. The Form 4 shows an acquisition price of $0 for the award (typical for RSU grants); the units will convert to shares if and when they vest. This is a compensation award rather than an open‑market purchase or sale.

Context
RSU grants are a form of equity compensation and do not involve an immediate cash purchase or sale by the insider. They typically convert into common shares upon vesting and are subject to applicable tax and withholding rules. Awards like this reflect company compensation practices and are not, by themselves, a direct market signal of buying or selling by the insider.
