What Happened

McCarter, a Director of Compass, reported derivative activity on 2026-05-14: he exercised/converted 35,288 derivative units (code M) and the filing also shows a matching disposition of 35,288 derivative shares (both reported at $0).

Key Details
- Transaction date: 2026-05-14; Form 4 filed: 2026-05-15 (appears timely).
- Exercise/conversion: 35,288 derivative shares (M) acquired and 35,288 derivative shares disposed — both reported at $0.
- Grant/award: 27,702 RSUs (A) granted, reported at $0; each RSU represents a contingent right to one share upon settlement (F1).
- Shares owned after transaction: not specified in the filing.
- Reporting relationship: The filing notes the reporting person and spouse are trustees and beneficiaries of the McCarter Living Trust (F2).
- Vesting notes: the filing includes vesting schedules — some RSUs vest 100% by the earlier of the next annual meeting and May 22, 2026 (F3) and others by the earlier of the next annual meeting and May 14, 2027 (F4).
Context
- Code M denotes exercise or conversion of a derivative; because the filing shows both acquisition and disposition of the same 35,288 derivative units at $0, this appears to be an internal conversion/settlement (e.g., net or non‑cash settlement) rather than a public sale. The 27,702 RSUs are awards that will convert to shares only upon vesting/settlement per the footnoted schedules.
- These entries reflect routine compensation and derivative settlement activity rather than a clear buy/sell signal; no cash proceeds or open-market purchases are reported.
