What Happened
Ellson Ryan, Chief Financial Officer of Gran Tierra Energy Inc. (GTE), received equity awards on March 6, 2026: 62,612 restricted stock units (RSUs) and 250,447 performance stock units (PSUs), for a total of 313,059 units. These were reported on an SEC Form 4 filed March 10, 2026. No purchase price is reported because these are derivative awards (transaction code A — grant/award), not open-market buys or sales.
Key Details
- Transaction date: 2026-03-06; Form 4 filed: 2026-03-10 (4 days after the grants). SEC Form 4s are generally due within two business days, so this filing appears later than the standard window.
- Award amounts: 62,612 RSUs (Footnote F1) and 250,447 PSUs (Footnote F2). No per-share price reported (N/A for derivative awards).
- Vesting: RSUs vest in three equal annual installments beginning March 6, 2027 (F1). PSUs are performance-based and represent contingent rights to receive shares upon vesting (F2); no specific PSU vesting schedule was provided in the filing.
- Shares owned after the transaction: not disclosed in the filing.
- Transaction code: A = Award/Grant; these are derivative awards (not immediate share purchases or sales).
Context
RSUs and PSUs are compensation awards that convert into common shares only upon vesting (time- or performance-based), so they do not represent immediate share ownership or proceeds for the insider. Such grants are common for executive compensation and align pay with future company performance; they do not by themselves signal a current buy or sell decision.
