Carrillo Antonio 4

What Happened

• Antonio Carrillo, a director of NRG Energy, received an award/acquisition of 60 shares (transaction code A) on 2026-02-02. The filing lists no per-share price or total dollar value (N/A). This transaction represents dividend equivalent rights tied to deferred/restricted stock units rather than an open‑market purchase or sale.

Key Details

• Transaction date: 2026-02-02; Form 4 filed: 2026-02-04 (appears timely).
• Transaction type/code: A (grant, award or other acquisition).
• Shares involved: 60 shares acquired; price: N/A (no cash paid reported).
• Shares owned after transaction: Not specified in the provided filing information.
• Footnote: The award represents dividend equivalent rights accrued on the reporting person's deferred and/or restricted stock units; such rights are exercisable proportionately with the underlying units and may only be settled in NRG common stock. The filing notes it "includes 1,504 dividend equivalent rights."
• No indication of a 10b5-1 plan, sale, tax withholding, or late filing in this report.

Context

• These dividend equivalent rights are the economic equivalent of shares that accrue alongside deferred/restricted stock units and are typically settled in company stock when the related units vest; they are not the same as a market purchase by the insider. Such awards are routine compensation-related transactions and do not by themselves indicate the director is buying or selling shares in the open market.
