Key Details

Transaction date: 2026-05-01; Form 4 filed: 2026-05-04 (timely).
Awards: 4,696 RSUs and 1,066 RSUs (total 5,762 RSUs); grant-date valuation ≈ $1,190,199 (5,762 × $206.56).
Price shown: $0.00 (award/grant — no cash purchase).
Vesting: 25% on each of the first four anniversaries of the 05/01/2026 grant date (per footnote).
Dividend treatment: RSUs receive quarterly dividend equivalents and will convert 1:1 into common shares upon payout.
Shares owned after transaction: not stated in the provided filing excerpt.

Context

This is an equity compensation grant (not a market purchase or sale). Grants are routine for executive compensation and do not by themselves indicate a buy/sell market signal until/if shares are sold or retained after vesting.
Because these are RSUs (derivative awards), they will convert into actual shares over time per the vesting schedule; dividend equivalents are paid into the award and settled in shares.

Footnotes (1)

[F1]Grant vesting occurs 25% on each of the first four anniversaries of the date of grant (which date of grant is 05/01/2026) in accordance with the Company's 2021 Stock Incentive Plan. Each Restricted Stock Unit ("RSU") receives quarterly dividend equivalents each time a dividend is paid on the Company's common stock and ultimately will be paid out in the form of one share of the Company's common stock (1 to 1 conversion). The number of RSUs was calculated based on Republic's closing stock price on 05/01/2026 ($206.56).
