Alphabet (GOOGL) CFO Anat Ashkenazi Receives Stock Award

What Happened
Alphabet CFO Anat Ashkenazi received three awards on September 14, 2026: 11 shares, 33 shares and 38 shares (total 82 units) reported as grants/awards (transaction code A) at $0.00. These are equity awards (Class C Google Stock Units and related Dividend Equivalent Units) rather than open-market purchases or sales.

Key Details

• Transaction date and price: 2026-09-14 — 11, 33 and 38 units, each at $0.00 (award/grant).
• Shares owned after transaction: not specified in the provided excerpt of the filing; see the full Form 4 for total holdings.
• Footnotes: awards are Class C Google Stock Units (GSUs) that convert 1:1 to Alphabet Class C shares; Dividend Equivalent Units (DEUs) accrued on GSUs were distributed on 9/14/2026 and vest on the same schedule as the underlying GSUs. Vesting schedules are time‑based and contingent on continued employment (see footnotes F1–F7 in the filing for exact schedules and compositions).
• Timeliness: Form 4 filed 2026-09-16 for a 2026-09-14 transaction — filed within the usual two-business-day window (timely).

Context
GSUs are deferred equity awards that convert to actual shares as they vest; DEUs represent dividend equivalents that also convert to shares upon vesting. Awards reported at $0 reflect grant accounting (no cash purchase). Such grants are common part of executive compensation and do not, by themselves, indicate a buy or sell signal.
