Check Point (CHKP) Director Dafna Gruber Receives RSUs & Option Grant

What Happened
Dafna Gruber, a director of Check Point Software Technologies Ltd. (CHKP), received equity awards on September 2, 2026: 1,120 Restricted Share Units (RSUs) (no purchase price) and an option grant covering 5,000 ordinary shares with an exercise price of $133.89 (derivative grant valued at $669,450). These are grants/awards (acquisitions) — not open-market purchases or sales.

Key Details

• Transaction date: September 2, 2026; Form filed September 3, 2026 (timely).
• New awards:
  • 1,120 RSUs @ $0.00 (each RSU converts to one ordinary share upon vesting).
  • Option to purchase 5,000 shares @ $133.89 (total strike value reported as $669,450).
• Vesting (new awards):
  • RSUs (1,120): 560 on Mar 2, 2027; 280 on Jun 2, 2027; 280 on Sep 2, 2027 (service-vesting).
  • Options (5,000): 2,500 on Mar 2, 2027; 1,250 on Jun 2, 2027; 1,250 on Sep 2, 2027 (service-vesting).
• Existing holdings noted in filing:
  • Previously granted RSUs: 1,985 scheduled to vest across Oct 31, 2026 – Oct 31, 2028 (see footnote details). Combined with the new 1,120 RSUs, that implies 3,105 RSUs in line to vest on various dates.
  • Options previously held: 30,000 underlying options (11,250 vested as of Sep 3, 2026); adding the new 5,000 option grant implies 35,000 options total, with remaining unvested tranches scheduled (see footnote for Oct 31, 2026/2027/2028 vesting).
• Shares owned after transaction: the filing excerpt reports the RSU and option grants and prior derivative holdings but does not state total beneficial ownership of ordinary shares.
• No indication in this filing of a 10b5-1 plan, cashless exercise, tax-withholding share surrender, or a late filing.

Context
RSUs convert into ordinary shares when they vest and are typically used for compensation; option grants give the right to buy shares at the stated exercise price after vesting. These entries are awards (compensation) rather than purchases or sales — they increase Gruber’s potential future ownership if/when vesting and (for options) exercise occur.
