Muniz Quintanilla Daniel 4

What Happened
Daniel Muniz Quintanilla, a director of NOVAGOLD RESOURCES INC (NG), was granted 36,600 derivative securities (reported as an Acquisition, code A) on 2026-02-02. The award is reported at $0.00 per share (no cash exchanged) and appears to be equity compensation rather than an open-market purchase.

Key Details

• Transaction date: 2026-02-02; Form 4 filed 2026-02-04 (appears timely — within the usual two-business-day window).
• Amount: 36,600 derivative shares/options; price reported $0.00 (grant/award).
• Shares owned following the transaction: not specified in the information provided.
• Footnote: F1 — the award vests in thirds: 1/3 on 02/02/2027, 1/3 on 02/02/2028, and 1/3 on 02/02/2029.
• Transaction code: A (grant/award). No 10b5-1 plan or tax-withholding info reported in the provided summary.

Context

• This was an equity grant (derivative award) that will vest over three years; such awards are common as director compensation and do not by themselves signal a market buy or sell.
• Because no cash was paid and no immediate sale was reported, there was no realization of proceeds at grant. Purchases on the open market are generally a clearer bullish indicator than compensation grants.
