WALKER JOHN KENT 4

What Happened
John K. Walker, President, Global Affairs and Chief Legal Officer of Alphabet Inc., was granted three award entries on June 15, 2026 totaling 94 units (17, 36 and 41 units). Each item was recorded at $0.00 (award/grant code A). These are Class C Google Stock Units (GSUs) and Dividend Equivalent Units (DEUs) that entitle the holder to one share of Alphabet Class C capital stock per unit as the units vest — they are compensation awards, not open‑market purchases or sales.

Key Details

• Transaction date and price: June 15, 2026; price $0.00 (award). Filing date: June 18, 2026; report period: 2026-06-15. No late‑filing flag was provided in the supplied data.
• Units granted: 17, 36 and 41 units (total = 94 units).
• Shares owned after transaction: total beneficial ownership following these grants was not specified in the provided excerpt.
• Notable footnotes:
  • GSUs convert 1:1 to Class C shares upon vesting; DEUs are dividend equivalents that vest on the same schedule as the underlying GSUs (see F1–F2).
  • Several footnotes specify vesting schedules that vary by grant (e.g., quarterly vesting fractions and multi‑year schedules — see F4 and F6).
  • The filing lists larger grant balances in footnotes (examples: F3 = 244 DEUs & 28,351 GSUs; F5 = 309 DEUs & 59,547 GSUs; F7 = 41 DEUs & 67,586 GSUs), which reflect aggregate DEU/GSU counts tied to particular grants.

Context
These entries are grants/awards (Form 4 transaction code A), meaning Walker received equity units as compensation that will convert into Class C shares as they vest. Awards and DEUs are routine executive compensation and do not by themselves indicate buying or selling intent. For retail investors, purchases are generally stronger direct signals than routine grants; here the action is compensation-related.
