CASALE MARK 4

What Happened

• Mark Casale, Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President of Essent Group Ltd. (ESNT), received an award of 3,129 derivative units tied to unvested restricted stock/RSU on 2026-06-10. The filing reports the acquisition as an award (code A) with a reported price/value of $0.

Key Details

• Transaction date: 2026-06-10 (reported on Form 4 filed 2026-06-30).
• Transaction type/code: Award/Grant (A); derivative instrument (dividend-equivalent units).
• Shares/units acquired: 3,129 units; reported acquisition amount $0 in the filing.
• Shares owned after transaction: Not specified in the provided filing excerpt.
• Footnote: Dividend equivalent rights accrue on the unvested award(s) and vest proportionately; each dividend equivalent unit is the economic equivalent of one common share (see footnote F1).
• Filing timeliness: The Form 4 was filed 20 days after the transaction date; Form 4s are normally due within two business days, so this filing appears late.

Context

• This was a compensation award (not an open-market purchase or sale). Awards and dividend-equivalent units typically reflect pay or incentive arrangements and vest over time; they do not necessarily signal an immediate change in insider sentiment. The reported $0 reflects the filing entry for the grant rather than an open-market purchase price.
