• Brian Lieser, Executive Vice President & Chief Communications Officer of Belden Inc. (BDC), received a grant of 3,641 restricted stock units (RSUs) on February 25, 2026. The award was reported at $0.00 per share because RSUs are granted, not purchased — no cash changed hands at grant.

Context

• RSU grants are a form of compensation that convert to actual shares only as they vest; they are not immediate purchases or sales and do not necessarily signal buying/selling intent.
• Taxes or withholding may apply when RSUs vest; some shares may be retained by the company to cover tax obligations (noted generally for RSUs, but no specific withholding action was reported here).
• Such grants are routine compensation for executives and are commonly used to retain employees over multiple years.
