Albertsons (ACI) CMO Michelle Larson Receives RSU Awards

What Happened
Michelle Larson, Chief Merchandising Officer of Albertsons Companies (ACI), was credited a total of 3,540 restricted stock units (RSUs) on August 7, 2026. The entries on the Form 4 are awards/credits (transaction code A) of RSUs as dividend equivalents on performance-based and unvested RSUs. No open-market buy or sell occurred; these are derivative awards that will vest and settle with the underlying grants. The quarterly dividend equivalent is $0.17 per share, implying a quarterly dividend-equivalent value of about $602 (3,540 × $0.17).

Key Details

• Transaction date: 2026-08-07 (reported on Form 4 filed 2026-08-11). Filing appears timely (within the two business-day requirement).
• Transaction type/code: A = Grant/Award (derivative RSUs); price shown as N/A because these are awards, not purchases.
• Specific line items credited: 175; 94; 207; 999; 351; 185; and 1,529 RSUs (total 3,540 RSUs).
• Shares owned after transaction: not provided in the data supplied.
• Footnotes:
  • F1 — RSUs credited as dividend equivalents on accrued performance-based RSUs; will vest/settle with those underlying awards.
  • F2 — RSUs credited as dividend equivalents on unvested RSUs; will vest/settle with the underlying awards.

Context
These entries reflect dividend equivalents being paid in the form of additional RSUs rather than cash, a routine administrative credit tied to existing unvested/performance awards. Such awards increase the executive’s future vested stake if the underlying awards vest, but they are not an open-market purchase (which some investors view as a stronger bullish signal).
