Taneja Rajat 4

What Happened

• Rajat Taneja, a director of MSCI Inc. (MSCI), received awards of restricted stock units (RSUs) on May 1, 2026. The filing shows two acquisitions: 388 RSUs and 177 RSUs, for a total of 565 shares, each reported at $0.00 (award/grant).
• This was an equity award (code A), not an open-market purchase or sale. The filing does not report a cash value paid by the insider — the shares were granted as compensation and will vest later.

Key Details

• Transaction date: May 1, 2026; Form 4 filed: May 5, 2026 (timely — within the SEC’s two-business-day window).
• Shares awarded: 388 RSUs + 177 RSUs = 565 RSUs; price reported: $0.00 (award).
• Vesting: Footnote F1 states these RSUs vest on May 1, 2027.
• Shares owned after transaction: not specified in the provided filing details.
• Transaction type/code: A = Award/Grant of restricted stock units.

Context

• RSU awards are compensation and typically vest over time; these RSUs do not represent immediately tradable shares until they vest (May 1, 2027).
• Awards are routine for executives/directors and do not by themselves signal a buy/sell decision in the open market. They differ from purchases (which can be interpreted as a personal bullish signal) or sales (which may be for diversification/tax reasons).
