KANDERS WARREN B 4

What Happened
Warren B. Kanders, reported as a 10% owner of Cadre Holdings, Inc. (CDRE), received two grant-type derivative awards on March 30, 2026: 44,684 restricted stock units (RSUs) and 144,735 stock options. Both grants were reported at $0.00 per share (typical for equity awards) and therefore have no immediate cash purchase or sale value on the Form 4. These awards are compensation/retention-style grants rather than open-market purchases or sales.

Context
These are derivative awards (RSUs and options) that vest over three years; RSUs convert into shares when vested, and options become exercisable when vested (the filing does not indicate any immediate exercise or sale). As a reported 10% owner, Kanders’ receipt of equity is a disclosure of insider compensation/ownership change rather than an open-market buy or sell; such grants are common for alignment/retention and do not by themselves indicate near-term buying or selling intent.
