Ward Mason 4

What Happened
Ward Mason, a director of Banzai International, Inc. (BNZI), was granted 61,523 restricted stock units (RSUs) on February 6, 2026. The award is recorded at $0.00 per share (no cash paid at grant); each RSU represents a contingent right to one share of common stock upon vesting.

Key Details

• Transaction type: Award/Grant (derivative RSUs) reported as code A.
• Transaction date: February 6, 2026; Form 4 filed February 12, 2026 (filed late relative to the typical 2-business-day rule).
• Shares granted: 61,523 RSUs; price at grant: $0.00; immediate cash value reported: $0.
• Vesting terms: Board approved the grant Jan 15, 2026; RSUs vest on January 15, 2027 subject to continued board service (reporting person notified Feb 6, 2026).
• Shares owned after transaction: Not specified in the filing.
• Footnotes: F1 clarifies each RSU converts to one share when vested; F2 describes approval and vesting schedule.

Context
This is a typical compensation award to a director rather than an open-market buy or sale. RSU grants involve no immediate share transfer or cash exchange; value is realized only if and when the RSUs vest and convert to shares (and may be taxable at vesting). The Form 4 in this case was submitted several days after the transaction date, which is worth noting for timeliness tracking but does not change the nature of the award.
