The transaction is coded "A" (award/grant) and represents shares deferred into a stock unit account under the Northrop Grumman 2024 Long-Term Incentive Stock Plan.

Key Details

• Transaction date and terms: 2026-06-30; 91 shares @ $509.31 each; total ≈ $46,347.
• Filing date: Form 4 filed 2026-07-01 (timely filing relative to the 06-30 transaction).
• Shares owned after transaction: not specified in the provided excerpt.
• Footnotes: F1 — shares were deferred into a stock unit account pursuant to the 2024 LTIP and the award was exempt under Rule 16b-3. F2 — the stock unit account includes shares and dividends; dividends on those units were exempt from Section 16 and not reportable under Rule 16a-11.
• Transaction type: Award/grant (not an open-market buy or a sale).

Context

• This was a compensation award (director equity deferral) rather than a market purchase or option exercise; such grants are common for non-employee directors and are often routine. The Rule 16b-3 exemption and the stock-unit structure mean the award is part of the company’s director compensation program and not a reportable dividend payment.
