Barkin Michael Z 4

What Happened Michael Z. Barkin, President and a director of Clear Secure, Inc. (YOU), was granted 55,998 restricted stock units (RSUs) reported as a derivative award on March 10, 2026. The Form 4 lists the acquisition price as $0.00 (standard for RSU grants) — this is a compensation award, not an open‑market purchase or sale, so no cash changed hands at grant.

Context RSUs are a common form of equity compensation and do not represent immediately owned shares until they vest; they typically convert to actual shares (and become taxable) on the vesting dates. Grants like this are usually part of executive compensation or retention plans and are informational rather than an explicit buy/sell signal.
