Walker, President, Global Affairs and Chief Legal Officer of Alphabet Inc., was issued two awards on March 16, 2026: 26 units and 47 units (total 73) reported as acquisitions at $0.00.

Context These were equity awards (derivative units) granted/credited to an insider and will convert to Class C shares only as they vest; they are routine compensation/delivery mechanics rather than market purchases or sales. For retail investors, such awards increase the insider’s potential future share ownership over time but do not represent immediate buying or selling in the market.
