Laulis Julia M. 4

What Happened
Julia M. Laulis, a director of AES Corporation (AES), received a grant of 12,111 deferred stock units on April 29, 2026. The Form 4 reports these as an award (transaction code A) at $0.00 per unit (derivative award). The filing shows this is a grant of economic units rather than an open-market purchase or sale.

Key Details

• Transaction date: 2026-04-29; reported on Form 4 filed 2026-05-01 (timely filing).
• Instrument: 12,111 deferred stock units (derivative), reported acquisition price $0.00.
• Shares owned after transaction: Not specified in the provided filing summary.
• Footnote: Each stock unit is the economic equivalent of one share and will be settled for AES common stock after the reporting person terminates board service per the director election form under The AES Corporation 2025 Equity and Incentive Compensation Plan (see footnote F1).
• Additional filing note: Exhibit 24.1 (Power of Attorney) included.

Context
This was a compensation award for a director, not a market purchase or sale. Deferred stock units are typically settlement vehicles (converted to shares at a later date, here upon termination of board service) and do not necessarily signal the director is buying or selling stock for investment reasons.
