Friend Cynthia M 4

What Happened

• Cynthia M Friend, a director of Bruker Corporation (BRKR), received a grant of 4,520 restricted stock units (RSUs) on February 15, 2026. The grant was reported on a Form 4 filed February 18, 2026. The reported acquisition price is $0.00 because this is an award (no cash purchase).

Key Details

• Transaction date: 2026-02-15; Form 4 filed: 2026-02-18.
• Transaction type/code: Award/Grant (A); reported 4,520 RSUs @ $0.00.
• Vesting/convertibility: Per the filing footnote, the RSUs vest in one installment on 2027-02-15 and will automatically convert into the same number of common shares on that date.
• Shares owned after the transaction: Not specified in the provided filing excerpt.
• Timeliness: Filed on Feb 18 for a Feb 15 transaction — this appears to be one business day late (Form 4s are generally due within two business days), so the filing was delayed.

Context

• RSU awards are compensation, not open-market purchases or sales; they don’t represent an immediate cash outlay or sale and will only become actual shares if/when they vest. Such grants are common for directors and executives as retention/compensation and do not by themselves signal immediate buying or selling intent.
