Avantor (AVTR) CFO Todd Garner Receives Equity Awards

What Happened

• Todd W. Garner, Avantor's Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, received two equity awards on September 21, 2026: 49,688 restricted stock units (RSUs) and 138,632 stock options (reported as a derivative award). Both awards are recorded at $0.00 cash paid at grant (typical for awards).
• Reported value at grant is $0 because these are compensation awards, not open-market purchases or sales. No exercise price or dollar valuation for the option award was included in the provided transaction data.

Key Details

• Transaction date(s): September 21, 2026; Filing date: September 23, 2026 (reported via Form 4, accession 0001628280-26-063227). No late-filing indicator was provided in the supplied data.
• Reported amounts: 49,688 RSUs (acquired, $0.00) and 138,632 derivative shares (stock options, acquired, $0.00).
• Shares owned after the transaction: not disclosed in the provided summary.
• Footnotes:
  • F1: RSUs vest in two equal annual installments beginning September 21, 2027.
  • F2: Stock options vest in three equal annual installments beginning September 21, 2027.

Context

• RSUs: grant means the executive will receive shares as they vest (subject to the vesting schedule noted above); no shares were transferred to market at grant.
• Stock options are a derivative award that will vest over time per F2; exercising options (and any associated exercise price or sale of shares) would be reported separately when they occur.
• Awards like these are common elements of executive compensation and do not by themselves indicate immediate buying or selling intent.
