• Transaction type/code: Award/Grant (A). Price: $0.00; Reported value: $0.

Context

This was an award/grant (compensation or deferred unit settlement), not an open-market purchase or sale. Dividend-equivalent rights are the economic equivalent of shares but, per the footnote, may only be settled in NRG common stock and vest/convert proportionately with the underlying units. The filing appears timely and does not indicate an immediate sale or tax-withholding disposition.
