Jones Mark E. Jr. 4

What Happened
Mark E. Jones Jr., a reported 10% owner of Goosehead Insurance, was granted a derivative equity award covering 50,000 shares on April 20, 2026. The Form 4 reports an acquisition value of $0.00, indicating this was an award/option grant rather than a cash purchase or sale. No immediate sale or exercise is indicated.

Key Details

• Shares/units granted: 50,000 (acquisition value reported as $0.00).
• Shares owned after transaction: Not specified in the provided filing excerpt.
• Footnote: Award vests one-third on each of the first, second and third anniversaries of the grant date (subject to continued employment). All shares will vest if, within six months after a defined "change in control," the reporting person’s employment is terminated without "cause" or for "good reason."
• No 10b5-1 plan, tax-withholding, or sale-on-exercise details provided.

Context
This was a derivative award (an option-style grant) and not an immediate cash purchase or sale — it does not by itself change Mr. Jones’s cash position or the company’s circulating shares until options (if these are options) are exercised and shares are issued. As a 10% owner, his transactions require Form 4 reporting; the filing here appears to meet the usual two-business-day deadline. The vesting schedule and change-in-control acceleration are standard retention provisions.
