Crum Scott A 4

What Happened
Scott A. Crum, Chief Human Resources Officer of MSCI Inc., received a grant of 1,554 restricted stock units (RSUs) on January 30, 2026. The grant was reported at $0.00 per share (total reported value $0) because these are time- and performance-based RSUs rather than an open-market purchase.

Key Details

• Transaction date: 2026-01-30; transaction type/code: Award/Grant (A)
• Awards granted: 1,554 RSUs; grant price reported: $0.00; reported total value: $0
• Vesting/conversion: RSUs are expected to vest and convert to shares on the third anniversary of the grant date.
• Performance adjustment: Final shares issued may be 100%–130% of the target RSUs based on a performance metric for MSCI’s 2026 fiscal year (Jan 1–Dec 31, 2026) (see footnote F1).
• Shares owned after transaction: not specified in the filing.
• Filing date: 2026-02-03 (filed 4 calendar days after the grant; Form 4s are typically due within 2 business days, so this filing appears delayed).

Context
RSU grants are compensation awards that vest over time (and here are tied to a performance metric). Because this was an awarded grant rather than an open-market purchase or sale, it is a routine compensation event and does not by itself signal insider buying or selling intent. The potential 100%–130% payout means final share delivery could be higher if the company meets the specified 2026 performance target.
