GOSS MICHAEL F 4

What Happened
Michael F. Goss, a director of Element Solutions, had restricted stock units (RSUs) settle on 2026-05-04, resulting in the acquisition of 3,272 shares. The same day he recorded the exercise/conversion of derivatives for 6,539 shares and a simultaneous disposition of 6,539 shares (both reported as derivative transactions). No prices were reported (N/A). Net change from the transactions shown is an increase of 3,272 shares.

Key Details

• Transaction dates: 2026-05-04; Form 4 filed 2026-05-05 (timely).
• Reported actions and codes: M = exercise/conversion of derivative (6,539 shares acquired and 6,539 shares disposed); A = grant/award or other acquisition (3,272 shares acquired).
• Prices: all reported as N/A in the filing.
• Shares owned after transaction: not provided in the excerpt supplied.
• Footnote F1: the 3,272-share entry reflects settlement of previously reported RSUs that vested on 5/4/26 (each RSU = one share).
• Footnote F2: additional RSUs remain outstanding and vest on the earlier of 5/4/27 or the next annual meeting (subject to continued director service); they may vest on a change of control.
• No indication this filing was late.

Context
The paired derivative entries (acquire and immediately dispose the same number) are commonly seen when derivatives are converted and some or all resulting shares are sold or withheld to cover taxes or exercise costs (a cashless-style outcome). The meaningful change here is the settled RSUs (3,272 shares acquired). As with all insider filings, this is factual disclosure of compensation and derivative activity, not commentary on company prospects.
