Key Details

• Transaction date: May 14, 2026; Form 4 filed May 18, 2026 (timely under the two‑business‑day filing rule).
• Grant type/code: A = Award/Grant (3,937 RSUs). Reported acquisition price: $0.00.
• Vesting: RSUs vest (and are no longer forfeitable) on the earlier of the first anniversary of the grant or the first annual shareholders meeting after the grant, subject to continued service and any deferral election.
• Settlement: Company may settle vested RSUs either by issuing shares or paying cash equal to the fair market value of vested shares at vesting.

• Footnotes: Awards granted under the Cooper‑Standard 2021 Omnibus Incentive Plan (as amended and restated). No 10b5‑1 plan or tax‑withholding sale is indicated.

Context This was a standard director compensation grant (time‑based RSUs), not a purchase or sale in the open market. Such grants are routine for non‑employee directors and reflect compensation rather than an explicit trading signal. Because the award vests only after continued service (or on the specified event) and can be settled in cash or stock, it represents potential future equity exposure rather than immediate ownership of shares.
