• Amount: 5,550 RSUs; reported price $0.00 (derivative award, not an open‑market purchase).
• Vesting/conditions: RSUs vest on August 1, 2035 and are subject to forfeiture and potential accelerated vesting per grant terms (see footnotes F1, F2).

Context
Each RSU represents a contingent right to receive one share of SONY common stock upon vesting. This is a compensation award rather than an immediate purchase or sale; its eventual value will depend on Sony’s stock price at settlement. Such grants are routine for directors and executives and do not by themselves indicate a change in insider sentiment.
