Aspell Robert Patrick 4

What Happened

• Robert Patrick Aspell, a director of Darling Ingredients, was granted 549 shares as an award on February 25, 2026. The Form 4 reports an acquisition price of $0.00 for the award (transaction code A), so the filing lists the total reported value as $0.
• This was an equity award (grant) rather than a market purchase or sale; such grants are typically part of director compensation and do not necessarily indicate a buy/sell decision.

Key Details

• Transaction date: 2026-02-25; Form 4 filed: 2026-02-26 (timely filing).
• Transaction type/code: A = Award/Grant. Reported price per share: $0.00; reported total: $0.
• Shares owned after transaction: not specified in the provided filing summary.
• No 10b5-1 plan, tax-withholding, or cashless-sale notes were reported in the summary provided.

Context

• Equity awards to directors are common as compensation for service; the $0 reported acquisition price reflects that this was a grant, not an open-market purchase, and does not indicate the market value of the shares.
• For investors, grants are routine compensation activity—useful to note but not a direct bullish/bearish trade signal on its own.
