van der Kolk Robert J. 4

What Happened

• Robert J. van der Kolk, President of EMEA and APAC for nVent Electric plc (NVT), was granted equity awards reported on a Form 4 filed 2026-03-03 for transactions dated 2026-03-02. The filing shows:
  • 2,079 restricted stock units (RSUs) granted at $0.00 (code A) — total reported cash = $0.
  • 5,025 derivative awards (granted at $0.00, code A) — total reported cash = $0.
• These are grants (not open-market purchases or sales), so they are awards rather than cash transactions.

Key Details

• Transaction dates: 2026-03-02; Form 4 filed: 2026-03-03 (timely filing).
• Reported prices/values: both grants reported at $0.00 (typical for equity awards where no cash is exchanged at grant).
• Vesting/award notes:
  • Footnote F1: The 2,079 RSUs were granted under the nVent 2018 Omnibus Incentive Plan; one‑third vests on each of the first, second, and third anniversaries of March 5, 2026. Each RSU converts to one share upon vesting.
  • Footnotes F2 & F3: The 5,025 derivative award is an employee stock option under the same plan; one‑third of the options become exercisable on each of the first, second, and third anniversaries of March 5, 2026.
• Shares owned after the transaction are not specified in the excerpted data.
• No 10b5-1 plan, tax‑withholding sale, or late‑filing flag is indicated in the filing.

Context

• RSUs represent a right to receive shares in the future if and when they vest; they are not immediate purchases or sales and do not by themselves signal immediate market action.
• The derivative award appears to be stock options (vesting over three years). If and when those options are exercised, the insider could acquire shares (and might then sell or hold them); this filing only records the grant.
• Grants like these are routine long-term compensation for executives and do not, on their own, indicate buying or selling sentiment.
