Key Details

• Transaction date: 2026-05-04; Form 4 filed 2026-05-06 (appears timely).
• Grant: 2,603 RSUs, reported as acquired (code A) at $0.00 per share.
• Shares owned after the transaction: Not specified in the filing.
• Footnote: The RSUs are 100% vested upon grant and represent the number of shares to be delivered upon settlement. Ms. Carter elected to defer settlement under the Stanley Black & Decker, Inc. 2020 Restricted Stock Unit Deferral Plan for Non-Employee Directors.
• Settlement timing: RSUs will be settled on the 90th day after the director leaves the Board, paid either in one lump sum or in 3-, 5- or 10-year annual installments.

Context

• This was an award of RSUs (not an open-market purchase or sale). Although the grant is reported at $0.00 per share for reporting purposes, the eventual economic value will equal the market price of the shares when they are settled. Deferred, vested RSUs do not indicate an immediate purchase or sale and are commonly used for director compensation.
