MSM Director Michael Kaufmann Receives RSUs, Converts Vested Shares

What Happened

Michael C. Kaufmann, an Outside Director of MSC Industrial Direct Co., was granted 1,603 restricted stock units (RSUs) on Jan 23, 2026 (no cash paid). On Jan 24, 2026 the filing shows conversion/exercise of 695 and 50 derivative units (total 745 shares) at $0.00; those same 695 and 50 shares are also reported as disposed on Jan 24, 2026. The filing reports $0.00 acquisition price because RSUs and similar derivative conversions do not require cash exercise payments.

Context

RSUs are awards that convert to shares without an out‑of‑pocket exercise price; the $0.00 amounts reflect that structure.
The filing shows the converted/converted shares were also marked "Disposed" the same day; filings often record same‑day disposals when shares are sold or transferred immediately (for example, to cover taxes), but this filing does not disclose sale proceeds or the disposition method.
This activity appears largely administrative (RSU grant and vesting/conversion), not an open‑market purchase or executive sale that would more directly signal a trading view.
