Baker Jeff 4

What Happened Jeff Baker, CoreWeave's Principal Accounting Officer, was granted 21,433 restricted stock units (RSUs) on February 10, 2026 (reported on a Form 4 filed Feb 12, 2026). The grant is reported as a derivative award (code A) — no cash was paid and no shares were sold. The filing does not state an exercise price or immediate cash value because RSUs convert into Class A common stock upon settlement according to the award terms.

Context RSU grants are a form of compensation/retention and only convert to actual shares when they vest and settle, so they do not represent an immediate change in tradable share ownership. For retail investors, awarded RSUs are informative about executive compensation and potential future share issuance, but they are not the same as an outright purchase (which some investors view as a stronger bullish signal).
