GOLDEN ARTHUR S. 4

What Happened
Arthur S. Golden, a director of The New York Times Company (NYT), was credited with 49 shares via a grant/acquisition on 2026-01-16. The Form 4 lists the transaction as an award (code A) with a reported price of $0.00 and $0 total purchase value. These are Dividend Equivalent Restricted Stock Units (RSUs) tied to previously reported RSU awards.

Key Details

• Transaction date: 2026-01-16; Form 4 filing date: 2026-01-21 (appears to be filed after the typical 2-business-day Form 4 window).
• Transaction type/code: Award/Acquisition (A). Price per share reported: $0.00; total reported acquisition value: $0.
• Amount acquired: 49 Dividend Equivalent RSUs. These were granted in respect of previously reported RSUs.
• Shares owned after transaction: Not specified in the filing.
• Footnote: Dividend Equivalent RSUs represent amounts equal to cash dividends paid on NYT Class A common stock. If granted in respect of vested RSUs they are fully vested at grant; if in respect of unvested RSUs they vest when the underlying unvested RSUs vest (typically on the company’s first annual meeting following the initial grant).

Context
Dividend Equivalent RSUs are not open-market purchases or sales; they reflect dividend credits tied to existing RSU awards. They do not necessarily indicate a new purchase decision by the insider and may simply mirror the company’s dividend payments.
