NEAL BLIXT DIANNE 4

What Happened

• Dianne Blixt, a non-employee director of Ameriprise Financial, was granted 441.752 derivative units (phantom stock/deferred share units) on 2026-04-29. The report shows an acquisition of 441.752 shares at $0.00 (no cash paid at grant); this is an award (not an open-market purchase or sale).

Key Details

• Transaction date: 2026-04-29; Form 4 filed 2026-05-01 (filed within the typical 2-business-day window).
• Amount granted: 441.752 phantom shares (reported as derivative units) at $0.00.
• Reported value at grant: $0 (cash not exchanged at time of grant).
• Shares owned after transaction: not specified in the disclosed filing.
• Footnotes: each phantom share equals the right to receive one Ameriprise common share (F1). Upon ceasing to be a non-employee director, deferred units will be settled one-for-one in common stock in a lump sum at the end of the quarter following termination (F2).

Context

• These phantom shares are deferred compensation for a director and represent a future right to receive common stock rather than immediate stock ownership. Such awards are routine for non-employee directors and do not by themselves indicate a near-term buy/sell market signal.
