What Happened
Bobbie G. Kilberg, a director of Appian Corp (APPN), received a grant of 1,296 shares on April 1, 2026. The shares were issued as an award (reported price $0.00) under the company's director compensation program — a non-cash equity compensation grant rather than an open‑market purchase or sale.

Context
Director equity awards are a common form of non-cash compensation to align directors with shareholder interests; they are routine and do not necessarily indicate the director is buying or selling shares for investment reasons. This filing reports an award (not a market purchase), and the Form 4 appears timely.
