Carrillo Antonio 4

What Happened

• Antonio Carrillo, a director of NRG Energy, Inc. (NRG), was granted/received 2,318 shares on June 1, 2026. The Form 4 reports an acquisition (code A) of 2,318 shares at $0.00 — these represent Deferred Stock Units (DSUs) issued under NRG’s Long‑Term Incentive Plan that were converted into common stock on the same date.

Key Details

• Transaction date and price: June 1, 2026; acquisition reported at $0.00 per share (compensation award, not an open‑market purchase).
• Share count: 2,318 shares acquired; filing also notes these DSUs included 1,562 Dividend Equivalent Rights (footnote).
• Instrument and plan: DSUs issued under NRG Energy, Inc.’s Long‑Term Incentive Plan and exchanged for one share of common stock per DSU on June 1, 2026.
• Cash value: No cash paid by the reporting person for the shares; this is compensation rather than a purchase.
• Filing date: Form 4 filed on June 3, 2026. The filing does not indicate a late filing in the document provided.
• Shares owned after transaction: Not specified in the provided filing excerpt.

Context

• These shares were awarded as part of long‑term compensation (deferred stock units converted to stock). Such awards are routine for directors and represent compensation rather than a market purchase or sale.
• Dividend Equivalent Rights mean the director may receive rights equivalent to dividends on those units; they are part of the compensation package and not separate stock purchases.
• For retail investors: awards signal company compensation practices and do not, by themselves, indicate buying pressure or insider sentiment the way open‑market purchases might.
