Zoetis (ZTS) EVP Kevin Esch Receives 19,957 RSU Award

What Happened

  • Kevin Esch, Executive Vice President of Zoetis Inc. (ZTS), received two grants of restricted stock units (RSUs) on February 18, 2026 totaling 4,026 + 15,931 = 19,957 RSUs. The filing reports an acquisition (grant) at $0.00 per unit (award/derivative), so no cash payment was made.

Key Details

  • Transaction date: 2026-02-18; Filing date: 2026-02-19 (appears timely).
  • Grant size and price: 4,026 RSUs @ $0.00 and 15,931 RSUs @ $0.00 (total 19,957 RSUs).
  • Reported value in the Form 4 is $0 because these are awards (derivative RSUs), not open-market purchases; market value at grant date is not provided in the filing.
  • Shares owned after transaction: not specified in the provided filing excerpt.
  • Relevant footnotes: F1/F2 — awards are RSUs (including dividend equivalent units); F3 — one‑third of each RSU vests and is settled in shares on the first, second and third anniversaries of the grant date (Feb 18, 2026), subject to continued service and certain events.

Context

  • These were equity compensation awards (not exercises or sales). RSUs are a form of deferred compensation that convert into shares if vesting conditions are met; there was no immediate sale or cashless exercise reported. Such grants are routine for executives and reflect compensation rather than an express buy/sell market signal.
