• Kato Minoru, a Managing Executive Officer of Honda Motor Co., was granted 5,752 shares on April 1, 2026. The Form 4 reports the acquisition as an award/grant at a reported price of $0.00 (transaction code A), so no cash purchase was made by the insider.

Key Details

• Transaction date: 2026-04-01; Form 4 filed: 2026-04-14 (Accession 0001193125-26-153899).
• Shares acquired: 5,752; reported price: $0.00 (award/grant); total cash paid reported: $0.
• Transaction code: A (award/grant).
• Shares owned after transaction: Not specified in the provided filing.
• Filing timeliness: The Form 4 was filed 13 days after the transaction date (typically Form 4 is due within 2 business days), so this appears late; late filings can raise questions and are subject to SEC scrutiny or potential penalties.

Context

• This was an award/grant (compensation), not an open-market purchase or sale — such grants are commonly part of executive pay or long-term incentive plans and may vest over time.
• Awards recorded at $0.00 on Form 4 indicate no cash was paid by the insider; fair-market value for tax or company accounting purposes may differ but is not shown here.
• Awards are not direct buy/sell signals; investors should consider them alongside other insider activity and company fundamentals.
