Ram Ranjana 4

What Happened

• Ram Ranjana, Chief Operating Officer of Priority Technology Holdings, was granted 77,320 restricted stock units (RSUs) on February 5, 2026. The grant is recorded as a derivative award with an acquisition price of $0 and a total reported value of $0 (award/derivative).
• This is a compensation award (not an open-market purchase or sale) and therefore represents future potential equity subject to vesting rather than an immediate transfer of tradable shares.

Key Details

• Transaction date: February 5, 2026; Form 4 filed February 9, 2026 (timely — within the 2 business day reporting window).
• Transaction type/code: A — Award/Grant (restricted stock units); reported acquisition price: $0.00; reported value: $0 (derivative).
• Vesting schedule (footnote): 25,774 RSUs vest on Feb 5, 2027; 25,773 RSUs vest on Feb 5, 2028; 25,773 RSUs vest on Feb 5, 2029 — vesting is contingent on continued employment.
• Each RSU represents a contingent right to receive one share of common stock upon vesting.
• Shares owned after the transaction: not specified in the filing.

Context

• RSU grants are a common form of executive compensation and do not reflect an immediate buy or sell of shares; they convert to shares only as they vest and any tax/withholding events occur.
• Because this is an award tied to continued employment and time-based vesting, it should be viewed as long-term compensation rather than an immediate signal about the insider’s short-term view of the stock.
