Howells David J 4/A

What Happened

• David J. Howells, Senior Vice President of MSA Safety Inc. (MSA), was granted/awarded 1,000 shares on 2026-03-08. The reported acquisition price is $0.00, so the immediate cash value recorded on the Form 4 is $0. This is an award of equity (performance stock units/awarded shares), not an open-market purchase or sale.
• The Form 4 filed 2026-03-10 is an amendment correcting the number of shares originally reported as awarded and updates the beneficial ownership figure following the transaction.

Key Details

• Transaction date: 2026-03-08; filing (amendment) date: 2026-03-10.
• Transaction type/code: A (Award/Grant/Other acquisition).
• Shares awarded: 1,000; price per share reported: $0.00; total reported value: $0.
• Shares owned after transaction: The amended Form 4 adjusts the previously reported post-transaction beneficial ownership to reflect the corrected award amount (see amended filing for the updated total).
• Footnote: The amendment (F1) states the original Form 4 incorrectly reported the number of shares awarded due to an administrative error and is being corrected here.
• Timeliness: The amendment was filed two days after the reported transaction date; the filing corrects the earlier report.

Context

• This was an equity award (likely performance stock units) that may vest or convert under plan terms; awarded shares at $0.00 do not represent an immediate cash purchase by the insider.
• Awards and grants are common compensation events and do not, by themselves, indicate the insider is buying or selling stock in the market.
