Context

• This appears to be an automatic annual RSU grant to a non-employee board member under Applied Materials’ Employee Stock Incentive Plan. Such grants are routine director compensation and do not by themselves indicate insider buying or selling intent.
• The RSUs will become actual shares only if/when they vest; until then they are contingent awards.
