Alphabet (GOOGL) SVP Philipp Schindler Receives Equity Award

What Happened
Philipp Schindler, Senior Vice President and Chief Business Officer at Alphabet (GOOGL), was granted three equity awards on June 15, 2026 totaling 119 units (22, 45 and 52 units). Each award is reported as acquired at $0.00 (award/grant designation), so no cash was exchanged; these are Google Stock Units (GSUs) and related Dividend Equivalent Units (DEUs) that convert into Class C shares as they vest.

Key Details

  • Transaction date and price: June 15, 2026; 22 / 45 / 52 units @ $0.00 (award entries).
  • Filing date: Form 4 filed June 18, 2026 — filed three days after the transaction date; this appears to be one business day late under the typical two-business-day Form 4 filing requirement.
  • Shares/units reported in footnotes: the filing lists various totals for GSUs and DEUs (examples in the filing include 36,226 GSUs + 312 DEUs; 75,217 GSUs + 391 DEUs; 86,230 GSUs + 52 DEUs). See the full SEC filing for the mapping of those totals to each award.
  • Vesting and conversion: Awards are GSUs (convert to one Class C share per unit as each vests). DEUs represent dividend-equivalent units that vest on the same schedule as the underlying GSUs and convert to shares on vesting.
  • Vesting schedules vary by grant (see footnotes): some grants include initial fractional vesting events and quarterly or monthly vesting through late 2026 and into 2027–2028 per the detailed schedules in the filing.
  • Transaction code: A = Award/Grant.

Context
These were non-cash, time-based equity awards (not open-market purchases or sales). GSUs and DEUs are common forms of executive compensation and only convert to tradable Class C shares when they vest. Because these are awards rather than purchases or sales, they do not by themselves signal immediate buying or selling intent.
