Cifu Douglas A 4

What Happened
Douglas A. Cifu, a director of MarketAxess Holdings, was granted 259 restricted stock units (RSUs) on March 1, 2026. The Form 4 reports the grant as 259 shares at $0.00 (an award/grant rather than a purchase), so the acquisition value is listed as $0 on the filing. This is a compensation/award transaction, not an open-market buy or sale.

Key Details

• Transaction date: 2026-03-01; Form 4 filed: 2026-03-02.
• Transaction type/code: A (award/grant of RSUs). Reported as 259 shares at $0.00 (acquisition value $0 on the Form 4).
• Shares owned after transaction: Not specified in the provided filing excerpt.
• Footnote: The RSUs were granted under the company's 2020 Equity Incentive Plan and will vest on the earlier of the next annual shareholders meeting or the one-year anniversary of the grant.
• Timeliness: Filing appears timely (no late filing flag reported).

Context
RSU grants are a common form of director/executive compensation and do not necessarily indicate a buy/sell signal. These units convert to actual shares only upon vesting (per the footnote), and the grant's reported acquisition value on Form 4 often shows $0 because it reflects an award rather than a cash purchase.
