Purcell Rahquel 4

What Happened

• Rahquel Purcell, an outside director of MSC Industrial Direct Co., reported the conversion/vesting of restricted stock units (RSUs) on January 22, 2026. The filing shows 799 shares acquired at $0.00 and 799 shares disposed at $0.00 (transaction code M — exercise/conversion of a derivative). The report also shows an additional 24 shares acquired and 24 shares disposed at $0.00 the same day. Because the acquisitions and dispositions match and no cash amounts are reported, the filing reflects vesting/conversion activity rather than an open-market purchase or a cash sale; the net reported change in beneficial ownership from these entries is zero.

• Relevant footnotes:
  • F1/F3: RSUs convert to one share of common stock; 1,598 RSUs were granted Jan 22, 2025, with 799 RSUs vesting on Jan 22, 2026 (the vested shares are deliverable upon vesting).

• Transaction code M = exercise or conversion of a derivative security (here, RSU vesting/conversion).

Context

• RSU vesting is a common form of director/executive compensation; it is a non‑market purchase event (no cash paid) and does not necessarily indicate buying or selling sentiment. The matching zero-dollar acquisition and disposition entries are consistent with conversion/vesting mechanics (and potentially withholding or internal transfers), not an open‑market sale.
