AST SpaceMobile (ASTS) CEO Avellan Abel Receives RSU Award

What Happened
Avellan Abel Antonio, CEO of AST SpaceMobile, was granted 150,000 restricted stock units (RSUs) on August 17, 2026. The award was reported as an "A" (award/grant) transaction at $0.00 per share, meaning no cash was paid for the RSUs; each RSU is a contingent right to one share of Class A common stock upon vesting.

• Award: 150,000 RSUs; reporting value shown as $0.00 (no purchase price).
• Vesting (per footnote F1): RSUs vest one-third on each of the first, second and third anniversaries of May 30, 2026, subject to continued service.
• Shares owned after transaction: not specified in the provided filing excerpt.

• Transaction code: A = Award/Grant.

Context
RSU grants are compensation, not open‑market purchases or sales; they reward continued service and typically vest over time. This grant does not itself indicate immediate buying or selling of stock — value is realized only if and when the RSUs vest and are converted into shares.
