• Shares acquired: 40; per-share price and total value: N/A (not disclosed).
• Shares owned after transaction: not provided in the data supplied.
• Footnote: The filing states there are 297 dividend equivalent rights tied to the reporting person’s deferred stock units and/or restricted stock units; each dividend right equals the economic equivalent of one NRG share and may be settled in NRG common stock.

Context
This was a compensation award (restricted/deferred stock-related), which is routine for executives and differs from a market purchase or sale. Dividend equivalent rights noted in the footnote can convert to shares when the underlying deferred/restricted units vest and are typically settled in stock, but such awards do not by themselves indicate the insider’s market view.
