Blanco Steven C. Sr. 4/A

What Happened

Steven C. Blanco Sr., Chief Executive Officer and a director of MSA Safety Inc. (MSA), was granted 8,745 performance stock units (PSUs) on March 8, 2026. The Form 4 amendment filed March 10, 2026 reports the award at $0 per share (typical for equity awards) and corrects the number of shares previously reported due to an administrative error. This is an equity award (compensation), not an open-market purchase or sale.

Key Details

• Transaction date: 2026-03-08; reported in an amended Form 4 filed 2026-03-10.
• Transaction type: Award/Grant (code A).
• Shares awarded: 8,745 PSUs; reported acquisition price: $0.00.
• Shares owned after transaction: The amendment states it corrects the beneficial ownership totals in Table I, but the updated total holdings are not provided in the excerpt.
• Footnote: Amendment (F1) corrects the number of shares reported as awarded under performance stock units due to an administrative error and amends beneficial ownership reported after the transaction.
• Filing status: Amended filing to correct prior reporting (not an indication of trading activity timing or intent).

Context

Performance stock units are typically subject to vesting and performance conditions and do not represent immediately tradable shares. Awards reported at $0 are standard for compensation grants and should be interpreted as executive compensation rather than a direct buy/sell market signal. This amendment corrects prior reporting and improves accuracy of insider holdings disclosure.
