Dine Brands (DIN) Director Amanda Clark Receives Award

What Happened Amanda Clark, a director of Dine Brands Global, received a grant of 17.451 dividend-equivalent rights (derivative award) on July 10, 2026. The filing reports a $0 acquisition price and $0 total value for this entry because these are dividend equivalents accrued on underlying restricted stock units (RSUs), not a cash purchase of shares.

Key Details

• Transaction date: 2026-07-10; Form 4 filed: 2026-07-14 (appears to be filed after the typical 2-business-day window).
• Security: Dividend-equivalent rights tied to RSUs (reported as derivative award).
• Quantity: 17.451 dividend-equivalent rights; reported price: $0.00; reported value: $0.
• Shares owned after transaction: Not specified in the provided filing.
• Footnotes: F1 — each dividend equivalent right equals the economic equivalent of one share. F2 — these rights accrued on underlying RSUs as dividends are paid and vest/settle on the same terms as those RSUs.
