What Happened Christopher L. Mapes, a director of Nordson Corp (NDSN), acquired 43 shares on April 30, 2026 at $288.45 per share, a transaction valued at approximately $12,403. The shares were issued pursuant to the Company’s Directors' Deferred Compensation Sub-Plan (a grant/acquisition), not an open-market purchase or sale.

Key Details

• Transaction date and price: 2026-04-30, 43 shares @ $288.45 each (total ≈ $12,403).
• Transaction type: A (grant/award or other acquisition) — conversion/acquisition under the directors' deferred compensation arrangement.
• Holdings note: The filing states total holdings include 9 Stock Equivalent Units and/or Restricted Share Units accrued from dividend payments; these SEUs convert to common shares on a one-for-one basis at distribution. The filing does not disclose a full post-transaction total share count beyond that note.
• Filing timing: No late-filing indicator noted in the report.

Context This was a routine director compensation transaction: Mapes elected to defer a portion of his quarterly cash retainer into stock-equivalent units, which resulted in the acquisition/issuance of shares when converted. Such deferred-compensation awards are common for non-employee directors and are administrative in nature rather than direct signals of insider trading intent.
