SAMARDZICH BARB J 4

What Happened

Barb J. Samardzich, a director of Adient plc (ADNT), was granted 8,208 shares on March 10, 2026 as compensation for her service on the board. The award is reported as an "A" (award/grant) transaction; no per-share price or dollar value is listed in the filing (price = N/A). This is a compensation grant rather than an open-market purchase or sale, so it reflects board pay rather than a direct trading signal.

Context

This was a standard director compensation grant — common for non-employee directors — and should be viewed as pay for service, not a purchase that necessarily signals the insider's personal market view. For retail investors, awards increase the insider's stake but do not by themselves imply buying or selling intent.
