Perold Jacques P 4

What Happened

• Jacques P. Perold, a director of MSCI Inc. (MSCI), was granted 388 restricted stock units (RSUs) on May 1, 2026. The Form 4 reports the acquisition price as $0.00 for these units. The RSUs are scheduled to vest on May 1, 2027, per the filing footnote.
• This is an award/grant (code A) rather than an open-market purchase or sale; awards are common compensation/retention tools and do not by themselves signal a buy or sell decision.

Key Details

• Transaction date: May 1, 2026; Form 4 filed May 5, 2026 (file appears to be filed several days after the transaction; Form 4s are generally due within two business days).
• Transaction type: Award/Grant (A) — 388 RSUs acquired at $0.00.
• Footnote: RSUs vest on May 1, 2027.
• Shares owned after transaction: not specified in the summary data provided in this request.
• No indication in this filing of an immediate sale, tax withholding, or a 10b5-1 plan.

Context

• RSUs represent a right to receive shares (or cash equivalent) if and when they vest; the economic value depends on MSCI’s share price at vesting.
• Awards to directors are routine compensation and retention measures and should not be interpreted alone as a market view.
