What Happened

Wilder C. John, a director of Evergy, was granted 165 derivative shares (reported as an award/acquisition, Transaction Code A) on 2026-04-01. The reported acquisition price is $0.00, indicating these were awarded (not purchased) shares/units. This filing reports the grant of deferred share units or similar derivative awards rather than an open-market purchase or sale.

Key Details

Transaction date: 2026-04-01; Form 4 filed: 2026-04-03 (timely).
Security: Evergy, Inc. common stock — 165 derivative shares awarded at $0.00.
Shares owned after transaction: not specified in this filing.
Footnotes of note:
- F2–F4: These are director deferred share units that convert to shares and are distributed following termination of board service; some units reflect dividend reinvestment and deferral of retainer fees.
- F1: Some shares are beneficially owned by BEP Special Situations V LLC through entities the reporting person manages; the reporting person disclaims beneficial ownership except to the extent of pecuniary interest.
Transaction type: Award/grant of derivative units (not a purchase or sale), so it’s a compensation/retainer-related issuance rather than a market signal.

Context

Deferred share units are common for director compensation: they are rights to future shares (often converted and delivered after leaving the board) and do not represent an immediate cash purchase or sale. Such awards are routine and reflect compensation rather than an explicit bullish or bearish trade.
