Karna Anu 4

What Happened

• Karna Anu, a director of Essent Group Ltd. (ESNT), was granted 16 shares as an award (transaction code A) on 2026-03-23. The shares were recorded as a derivative acquisition at $0.00 per share (total value $0).
• This was an equity award/compensation grant (not a purchase or sale) — a routine form of insider compensation rather than an open-market investment.

Key Details

• Transaction date and price: 2026-03-23; 16 shares @ $0.00 each (derivative award).
• Filing date: Form 4 was filed 2026-03-25 (appears timely under the two-business-day reporting rule).
• Shares owned after transaction: Not specified in the provided filing excerpt.
• Footnote (F1): The grant represents dividend equivalent rights accrued on unvested restricted stock and/or restricted stock units; these dividend equivalent units vest proportionately with the underlying awards and are each the economic equivalent of one Essent common share.

Context

• Dividend-equivalent units and restricted stock/RSU awards are common forms of executive/director compensation and do not necessarily signal a buy or sell opinion by the insider.
• Because this was an award at no cost and a small quantity (16 units), it is likely a routine compensation-related grant rather than a material insider investment action.
