STERLING MICHELLE M 4

What Happened Michelle M. Sterling, a director of Coherent Corp. (COHR), was granted 279 restricted stock units (RSUs) on February 11, 2026. The Form 4 reports the acquisition as 279 shares at $0.00 (award), so the filing shows no immediate cash value realized. This is an award grant (transaction code A), not a purchase or sale.

Key Details

• Transaction date: 2026-02-11; Form 4 filed: 2026-02-12 (timely filing).

• Shares owned after transaction: not disclosed in the provided filing excerpt.

Context RSU awards are compensation that typically convert into shares only after vesting and therefore do not represent an immediate market purchase or sale. Such grants are common for directors and employees and are primarily a compensation event rather than a direct signal of near-term trading intent.
