Vartanian Nishan J. 4/A

What Happened
Nishan J. Vartanian, Chairman and a director of MSA Safety Inc. (MSA), was awarded 60,786 shares (reported as an award/acquisition) on 2026-03-08 at a $0.00 per-share price — i.e., a compensation award rather than a market purchase. The Form 4 was amended (filed 2026-03-10) to correct the number of shares reported as awarded under performance stock units.

Key Details

• Transaction type: A = Award/Grant (performance stock units converted/reported as 60,786 shares)
• Transaction date: 2026-03-08; amended filing date: 2026-03-10
• Price: $0.00 per share (compensation award), total cash value reported: $0
• Shares owned after transaction: Amendment states it corrects the beneficial ownership total, but the corrected aggregate holdings are not provided in the summary supplied here
• Footnote: Amendment filed to correct an administrative error in the originally reported PSU award and the related beneficial-ownership figure

Context

• This was a compensation award (performance stock units), not an open-market purchase or sale — typically reflects long-term incentives, not an immediate trading signal.
• Because the filing is an amendment, the primary change was to fix the reported award and the resulting beneficial ownership counts; no sale or cash exercise occurred.
