Bracher Candido 4

What Happened

• Candido Bracher, a director of Mastercard (MA), was reported as acquiring 509 deferred stock units on June 16, 2026. The Form 4 shows the units were recorded at $0.00 (total $0) and are reported as an Award/Grant (code A).
• This was not an open-market purchase or sale; it is a deferred stock unit award that vested on the grant date but is scheduled to settle at a later date (see footnote).

Key Details

• Transaction date: 2026-06-16; filing date: 2026-06-18 (Form 4 accession 0001141391-26-000058).
• Reported quantity: 509 shares; reported price: $0.00 (total $0 on the Form 4).
• Footnote: The award represents deferred stock units that fully vested on 6/16/2026 but will settle on 6/16/2030 (or later if Bracher elects to re-defer).
• Shares owned after the transaction are not specified in the provided summary of the filing.
• Transaction code: A = Award/Grant. Filing appears timely (filed within the standard 2-business-day window).

Context

• Deferred stock units (DSUs) typically grant the right to receive shares (or cash equivalent) at a future settlement date; they do not require an immediate cash outlay and do not directly indicate buying or selling sentiment.
• Because settlement is deferred until 2030 (unless re-deferred), the award establishes a future claim to Mastercard shares rather than an immediate market transaction.
