BARBAS PAUL M 4

What Happened Paul M. Barbas, a director of Vistra Corp. (VST), was granted 1,268 shares on May 15, 2026. The Form 4 reports the acquisition price as $0.00, which is typical for stock awards (e.g., restricted stock or RSUs); the filing does not assign a cash purchase price or total dollar value.

Key Details

• Transaction date: 2026-05-15; Form 4 filed: 2026-05-19 (filed within the SEC’s two-business-day reporting window).
• Transaction type/code: Award/Grant (code A).
• Shares acquired: 1,268; reported acquisition price: $0.00.
• Shares owned after transaction: Not disclosed in the filing.
• Footnotes/special terms: Filing provides no additional footnotes (e.g., 10b5-1, vesting schedule, or tax withholding details).

Context This was an equity award rather than an open-market purchase or sale. Awards are often part of director compensation and can be subject to vesting or other restrictions, so they do not necessarily signal immediate buying or selling intent. Because the filing reports an acquisition price of $0.00 and lacks further detail, investors should view this as a compensation-related grant rather than a direct market investment by the director.
