Key Details
- Transaction date and price: 2026-07-06 at $99.65 per share; total ~$21,225.
- Shares acquired: 213 shares (transaction coded “J” = other acquisition).
- Method: Acquired under the Belden Inc. 2021 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP) — see footnote F1.
- Shares owned after transaction: Not disclosed in this Form 4 filing.
- Filing timeliness: Report filed 2026-07-07 (next-day filing for a 2026-07-06 transaction) — appears timely.
Context
The footnote clarifies the ESPP is broadly available to employees and purchases are funded by payroll deductions. The plan price is 85% of the lesser of the price at the start (Jan 1, 2026) or end (Jun 30, 2026) of the offering period, so the $99.65 reflects that plan purchase price rather than an open-market trade. Employee stock purchases are common compensation/benefit activity and typically reflect plan participation rather than an immediate market sentiment signal.
