What Happened
James Alan Schreiner, EVP & COO of MKS Inc (MKSI), sold a total of 3,500 shares in open-market transactions on June 12, 2026, generating proceeds of approximately $1,210,371. The sales were reported as three dispositions: 2,471 shares at a weighted average price of $345.52 ($853,790), 812 shares at $346.41 ($281,282), and 217 shares at $347.00 ($75,299).

Context
These were open-market sales (dispositions). Sales by executives can be for many reasons (diversification, liquidity, tax planning) and do not by themselves indicate a change in company outlook. Footnotes F1 and F2 show the first two sales were executed in multiple trades and the prices shown are weighted averages; the filer offers to provide the detailed trade-level prices upon request. For full context and holdings, retail investors should review the complete Form 4 (accession 0001049502-26-000109) on the SEC EDGAR site.
