BJORKLUND GUNNAR K 4

What Happened

• Gunnar K. Bjorklund, a director of Ross Stores (ROST), was granted a total of 1,539 restricted stock units (RSUs) on 2026-05-21 — 896 RSUs plus 643 RSUs. Each grant is recorded at $0.00 per share, so the reported acquisition value is $0. These were reported on a Form 4 filed 2026-05-26. This is an award/grant (transaction code A), not an open‑market purchase or sale.

Key Details

• Vesting schedule (Footnote F1): 1/3 vests on May 27, 2027; 1/3 on May 26, 2028; 1/3 on May 25, 2029. Settlement of units is deferred until separation from the Board.

• Securities beneficially owned after the transaction are not specified in the provided data.

Context

• RSUs are a form of compensation/retention award and do not require an immediate cash purchase; the $0 grant price here reflects how RSUs are recorded (value accrues when/if units convert to shares). Because settlement is deferred until separation from the Board, these units may not convert to shares while Bjorklund remains a director. This award should be viewed as a routine equity grant to an insider, not an open‑market bet on the stock.
