Context

• These awards are compensation grants under Stoneridge’s Long-Term Incentive Plan (LTIP), not open-market purchases or sales. Part of the award may convert to actual shares after a multi-year vesting/service condition; other portions (phantom shares) are payable in cash at fair market value if vesting conditions are met. Awards like this are common executive compensation and do not by themselves indicate a buy or sell decision by the insider.
