Shao Sean 4

What Happened

• Shao Sean, a director of VNET Group, Inc. (VNET), was granted 243,768 restricted stock units (RSUs) on 2026-05-15. The award was reported as an acquisition (grant) with a $0.00 per-share purchase price (derivative award), meaning no cash changed hands at grant.
• The RSUs are contingent rights that will convert into the issuer’s Class A ordinary shares in the form of American depositary shares (ADS). The filing does not report an immediate market value realized or any sale.

• Filing timeliness: reported with the period/date 2026-05-15; the filing does not indicate it was late.

Context

• These are restricted stock units (a derivative award), not an open-market purchase or sale. RSUs typically convert into deliverable shares only upon vesting, so this grant does not represent an immediate sale or purchase in the market.
• Grants to directors are common as compensation and do not by themselves indicate the director bought or sold stock for personal cash exposure.
