MCHENRY DANIEL JAMES 4

What Happened Daniel J. McHenry, Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of Group 1 Automotive (GPI), reported two awards of company stock. He was awarded 2,510 shares on 2026-01-27 and 2,673 shares on 2026-02-10. Both entries show an acquisition price of $0.00, indicating these were non-cash awards/grants (transaction code A). Total shares received across the two events: 5,183 shares.

Key Details

• Transaction dates and reported price:
  • 2026-01-27 — 2,510 shares @ $0.00 (award/grant)
  • 2026-02-10 — 2,673 shares @ $0.00 (award/grant)
• Filing date: Form 4 filed 2026-02-12. The 1/27 award appears to have been reported late relative to the standard two-business-day filing window; the 2/10 award was reported within that window.
• Shares owned after the transactions: not specified in the provided filing details.
• Transaction code: A = Grant/award or other acquisition (non-cash).
• No evidence in the filing that shares were sold or that this was a cashless exercise; these appear to be awards rather than market purchases.

Context

• Awards reported at $0.00 are typically restricted stock units, performance shares, or similar non-cash grants; they are compensation-related and not an open-market purchase (which is often viewed as a stronger bullish signal).
• Awards to executives are common as part of pay and retention programs and are factual disclosures of compensation, not direct commentary on near-term stock direction.
• Retail investors should note the late reporting of the 1/27 award (possible administrative delay); late filings can affect transparency but do not by themselves indicate trading intent.
