FERRY JOHN ALPHONSUS 4

What Happened

• Ferry John Alphonsus, Chief Financial Officer of Willamette Valley Vineyards, was granted a total of 13,500 shares on May 12, 2026. The Form 4 reports 5,500 shares acquired as an award (non-derivative) and 8,000 shares acquired as a derivative award (restricted). Both grants are shown at $0.00 purchase price (typical for compensation awards); the filing lists no cash paid by the insider.

Key Details

• Transaction date: May 12, 2026; Transaction type/code: A (award/grant).
• Reported prices: $0.00 per share for both grants (total reported cost $0).
• Vesting: The 8,000 restricted shares vest in three annual installments — 2,668 shares on May 12, 2027; 2,666 shares on May 12, 2028; and 2,666 shares on May 12, 2029. All restricted shares vest immediately upon a defined "Change in Control" per the company plan.
• Shares owned after transaction: Not specified in the provided filing.
• Filing timeliness: Form filed May 26, 2026 for a May 12, 2026 transaction (14 days later); Form 4s are normally due within two business days, so this appears later than the typical deadline (may indicate administrative delay).

Context

• These are compensation awards, not open‑market purchases or sales; such grants are common for executive pay and do not by themselves signal a buy/sell decision in the market.
• The derivative/“restricted” entry reflects that those shares are subject to vesting conditions (not an exercise of options). The immediate vesting clause on a Change in Control is common in executive retention packages.
