Key Details
- Transaction date: March 3, 2026. Transaction code: M (exercise/conversion of derivative).
- Shares acquired: 2,777 common shares via conversion of RSUs; a corresponding derivative line is reported at $0.00.
- Price / proceeds: No cash paid or received in this reported conversion (price shown as N/A / $0.00).
- Shares owned after the transaction: Not specified in the portion of the filing provided.
- Footnotes: RSUs convert one-for-one into common stock under the Escalade 2017 Incentive Plan. These were part of an 8,331 RSU award granted March 3, 2023, with tranches of 2,777 RSUs vesting on March 3 of 2024, 2025 and 2026.
- Timeliness: Filing date and transaction date are both March 3, 2026, so the Form 4 was filed same day as the reported vesting.
Context
- Code M indicates an exercise or conversion of a derivative instrument; here it reflects RSUs vesting and settling in shares rather than a cash sale. Because no sale is reported, this is not a disposition that would produce proceeds.
- RSU vesting is a routine compensation event for executives; it does not by itself indicate a change in management’s view of the stock.
