What Happened

Key Details
- Transaction dates/prices:
- 2026-05-13: Grant of 2,748 RSUs (acquired, $N/A); conversion/settlement of 2,748 derivative units (disposed/converted) per filing.
- 2026-05-14: Grant of 2,039 RSUs (acquired, $0.00).
- Shares owned after transaction: Not specified in the Form 4 filing.
- Notable footnotes: RSUs represent contingent rights to receive one share or cash at vesting; the settled RSUs were converted to shares and the reporting person elected to defer them into Deferred Stock Units (DSUs) under the Monster Deferred Compensation Plan for Non‑Employee Directors. DSUs are generally paid in stock per plan rules and vesting for the awarded RSUs is 100% on the last business day prior to the 2027 annual meeting, subject to continued service.
- Filing timeliness: Reported on 2026-05-15 for transactions dated 2026-05-13–05-14; appears to be filed within the normal reporting window.
Context
- These transactions are awards/deferrals, not open-market purchases or sales; deferral into the plan is a common way for directors to defer receipt of shares for future settlement and does not necessarily indicate a buy/sell signal. The “M”/derivative entry reflects conversion/settlement of RSUs to deferred stock units rather than an option exercise followed by a market sale.
