ZAPICO DAVID A 4

What Happened

• David A. Zapico, a director of Rockwell Automation (ROK), was granted 229 shares on 2026-04-16 as an award/compensation (transaction code A). The shares were issued at $0.00 (no cash paid), so the Form 4 reports $0 as the purchase price/value for the transaction.
• This was a compensation award under the company’s 2026 Long-Term Incentives Plan rather than an open-market purchase or sale.

Key Details

• Transaction date: 2026-04-16; Form 4 filed: 2026-04-17 (timely filing).
• Transaction type/code: A — grant/award/acquisition of shares; price per share reported: $0.00; total reported cash value: $0.
• Footnote: F1 — “Shares delivered as compensation for service as a director under the 2026 Long‑Term Incentives Plan.”
• Post-transaction holdings: Not stated in the provided excerpt of the filing.

Context

• Director awards like this are routine compensation for board service and do not necessarily indicate the director is buying or selling based on a view of the company’s near-term prospects.
• Because no cash changed hands (award issued) and the filing appears timely, this should be viewed as compensation disclosure rather than a market sentiment signal.
