What Happened

• Kristine Kay Malkoski, President, Learning & Development at Newell Brands (NWL), was awarded 53,509 performance-based restricted stock units (PRSUs) reported on Feb 9, 2026. The filing lists the acquisition price as $0.00 (an equity award/derivative), not an open-market purchase or sale.
• Each PRSU represents the right to receive one share of Newell common stock upon vesting (Footnote 1). The company’s Compensation and Human Capital Committee certified partial achievement of the performance metrics for PRSUs granted Feb 17, 2023; the PRSUs were subject to vesting on Feb 17, 2026 assuming continuous employment (Footnote 2).

Context

• PRSUs are equity-compensation awards that typically convert to actual shares only if performance and/or service conditions are met; they are not the same as an immediate purchase of stock and usually cannot be sold until vested.
• This filing reports an award (a grant tied to performance), which is routine for compensation; it does not by itself indicate the insider bought or sold shares in the open market.
