GALANTE EDWARD G 4

What Happened

• Edward G. Galante, a director of Celanese Corporation, was granted 4,676 restricted stock units (RSUs) and 3.429 shares of phantom stock on May 11, 2026. The RSUs were granted at a $0.00 price (award), and the phantom shares are reported at $59.55 each for a reported value of $204 (derivative).
• These were awards (transaction code A), not open‑market purchases or sales — routine compensation rather than an outright purchase or sale.

Key Details

• Transaction date: 2026-05-11; Form 4 filed: 2026-05-13 (timely within the normal two-business-day filing window).
• RSUs: 4,676 shares granted; price reported $0.00 (award).
• Phantom stock: 3.429 shares reported at $59.55 each = $204 (derivative value shown).
• Shares owned after the transaction: not disclosed in the provided filing excerpt.
• Footnotes of note:
  • F1: The RSUs are an annual grant and vest in full one year after the grant date.
  • F2: Each phantom share represents the right to one share of common stock.
  • F3: The phantom shares represent dividend equivalents under the 2008 Deferred Compensation Plan and become payable in shares after the director’s service terminates.

Context

• RSU and phantom stock grants are standard director compensation and do not indicate an immediate market purchase or sale. The RSUs vest on a one‑year schedule, while the phantom/dividend‑equivalent shares are payable upon termination of service, so these are not immediately tradable shares.
