Hayward (HAYW) Director Ronald C. Keating Receives Award

What Happened

• Ronald C. Keating, a director of Hayward Holdings, received a grant of 1,501 restricted stock units (RSUs) on July 30, 2026. The reported acquisition price is $0.00 because this is a compensatory award rather than an open-market purchase or cash transaction.

Key Details

• Transaction type/code: A — Award/Grant of RSUs; reported price: $0.00.
• Number of RSUs granted: 1,501. Each RSU represents the contingent right to receive one share of Hayward common stock upon vesting.
• Vesting: RSUs vest on December 31, 2026, provided Keating remains in continuous service through that date (per footnote).

• Footnote: Grants are restricted stock units (see above vesting condition). No 10b5-1 plan, tax-withholding, or cashless exercise noted in the filing.

Context

• RSUs are a form of equity compensation that convert to shares on vesting; they are not an open-market purchase and generally reflect compensation rather than an immediate bullish purchase signal. This grant is conditional on continued service through the stated vesting date.
