Key Details

• Transaction date: 2026-07-27; grant price/value: $66.38 per RSU; total value: $64,920.
• Instrument: Restricted Stock Units (RSUs). Each RSU represents a right to receive one share of Ashland common stock (Footnote F1).
• Vesting: RSUs granted under Ashland’s Omnibus Incentive Plan vest one year after grant (Footnote F2). The RSU in the Deferred Compensation Plan for Non-Employee Directors is equivalent to one share.
• Shares owned after transaction: not specified in the filing.
• Timeliness: The Form 4 was filed 2026-08-05 after the required deadline because the reporting person’s EDGAR Next enrollment was not completed; the filing was made promptly after enrollment was completed.

Context
This was a compensation award to a non-employee director — a routine grant used to compensate and retain board members. RSUs are derivative awards that convert to actual shares only upon vesting (no immediate open-market purchase or sale). Such grants are informative about pay and retention but do not necessarily indicate the director’s view on short-term stock direction.
