Tarantino Christina M. 4

What Happened

• Christina M. Tarantino, Vice President — Controller of Badger Meter, was granted 246 restricted shares (transaction code A) on March 6, 2026. The grant is reported with no per-share price (N/A) because it is a restricted stock award issued as compensation, not an open-market purchase or sale.

Key Details

• Transaction date: 2026-03-06 (reported on Form 4 filed 2026-03-10).
• Transaction type/code: Award/Grant (A); no cash consideration or per-share price reported (N/A).
• Shares granted: 246 restricted shares.
• Shares owned after transaction: Not specified in the filing.
• Footnote: The restricted stock was granted under the 2021 Omnibus Incentive Plan and "vests ratably over three years from the grant date" (per footnote F1).
• Filing timeliness: Form 4 was filed March 10, 2026; this appears to be timely (within the required two business days following the March 6 transaction).

Context

• This is a compensation-related restricted stock award, which is common for executive and senior management pay and does not by itself signal a buy or sell decision. The vesting schedule means the shares will become fully owned by the insider over three years, subject to any forfeiture conditions in the plan.
