Applied Materials (AMAT) Director James Anderson Receives RSU Award

What Happened

James Robert Anderson, a non-employee member of Applied Materials' Board of Directors, received an automatic annual grant of 741 restricted stock units (RSUs) on 2026-03-12 (transaction code A). The grant is reported at $0.00 per unit (no cash paid). These RSUs are scheduled to vest on March 1, 2027, subject to continued board service.
Mr. Anderson elected to defer payout: any units that vest will be converted one-for-one into Applied common shares and paid to him upon termination of his board service. The filing also references 806 previously reported RSUs that have already vested but are likewise deferred; the filing therefore references 1,547 deferred units in total (741 new + 806 previously vested).

Key Details

Transaction date: 2026-03-12; Form 4 filed 2026-03-13 (timely within the usual two-business-day window).
Price: $0.00 per unit (award/grant); no immediate cash transaction. Monetary value will equal market price when/if converted to shares.
Vesting: Scheduled for March 1, 2027 (subject to continued service).
Shares after transaction: The filing references 1,547 deferred RSUs (741 new + 806 previously vested); the Form 4 does not show an immediate, marketable share sale or purchase.
Footnotes: F1 describes the automatic annual RSU grant and deferral election; F2 notes 806 previously vested RSUs that are deferred and will be paid in shares upon termination.

Context

This is a routine director compensation grant (not an open-market purchase or sale). Because the RSUs are subject to future vesting and are deferred until termination, they are not immediately marketable and do not indicate an immediate buy/sell decision by the director.
For retail investors, director RSU awards are compensation-related disclosures — useful for understanding executive/director pay but not a direct bullish trading signal.
