Key Details

Transaction date: July 1, 2026 (Form 4 filed July 6, 2026).
Cash settlement: 1,805 units × JPY 7,814 per unit = JPY 14,104,270 → ≈ $86,929 (conversion rate JPY1 = $0.006163328, per footnote).
Phantom units exercised/converted: total 9,024 units (4,512 reported as acquired; remaining units reported as converted/settled).

Notable footnotes: F1 explains these are phantom stock units (contingent rights to receive stock, settled in cash or shares at issuer's election); F2 confirms the cash-settled portion and conversion math; F4–F6 describe vesting schedules (some units vested on July 1, 2026).
Filing timeliness: Form 4 was filed July 6, 2026 for the July 1 transactions — this appears to be more than two business days after the transactions and may be a late filing.

Context

These were award/derivative-settlement transactions (phantom-unit conversions and a cash settlement), not open-market purchases or sales. Cash-settlement of phantom units is routine for vested awards and does not necessarily signal a trading view on the stock.
