Padilla Raul 4

What Happened Raul Padilla, a director of Pilgrim's Pride Corp. (PPC), was reported to have received 1,927 restricted stock units (RSUs) on April 29, 2026. The Form 4 lists the acquisition price as $0 because these were RSUs (a contingent award), not a market purchase; each RSU represents a contingent right to one share of PPC common stock and will convert to shares if/when the vesting condition is met.

Key Details

• Transaction date: 2026-04-29
• Transaction type/code: Award/Grant (A) — 1,927 RSUs acquired at $0.00 reported value
• Footnote: RSUs vest upon the director's departure from the Company’s Board of Directors (contingent right to one share per RSU).
• Shares owned after transaction: not specified in the provided filing.
• Filing date: 2026-05-05 — filed six days after the transaction date, which appears later than the typical 2-business-day Form 4 reporting requirement.

Context Restricted stock units are compensation awards that convert to actual shares only if vesting conditions are met; they are not the same as an immediate cash purchase or sale and do not necessarily signal a near-term change in ownership. Because these RSUs vest upon departure from the board, they function as contingent/retention-type awards rather than an immediate transfer of trading exposure.
