ARNOLD FRANCES 4

What Happened

• Frances Arnold, a member of Alphabet's Board of Directors, sold 102 shares of Alphabet (Class C) stock on May 29, 2026 at $381.00 per share, generating proceeds of $38,862. The transaction is reported as a sale (S) and was effected pursuant to a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan adopted August 21, 2025.
• This is a sale (not a purchase). Sales by insiders are often routine portfolio or tax-management transactions; a pre-established 10b5-1 plan indicates the trades were scheduled in advance.

Key Details

• Transaction date and price: May 29, 2026 — 102 shares sold at $381.00 each.
• Total value: $38,862.
• Shares owned after transaction: not disclosed in this Form 4 filing.
• Footnotes on awards: Reporting person holds Google Stock Units (GSUs) that convert to one Class C share per GSU as they vest; the filing includes multiple vesting-schedule footnotes (F1–F4) describing monthly vesting patterns for different grants.
• Trading plan: Sale reported as executed under a Rule 10b5-1 plan adopted Aug 21, 2025 (pre-arranged trading plan).
• Filing: Form 4 filed June 1, 2026. (Form 4s are generally required within two business days of the transaction.)

Context

• GSUs referenced in the footnotes are restricted-style awards that become ordinary shares only as they vest; several footnotes describe staggered monthly vesting schedules for different grants.
• Because this sale was executed under a 10b5-1 plan and is a relatively small-dollar transaction (~$39k), it is typically viewed as routine insider selling rather than a direct signal about company outlook.
