Fariello Theresa M 4

What Happened
Theresa M. Fariello, a director of Energy Vault Holdings, Inc. (NRGV), received an award of 19,153 restricted stock units (RSUs) on May 29, 2026. The grant shows a $0.00 per-share acquisition price (i.e., no cash was paid). The RSUs represent a contingent right to one share each and will vest on June 1, 2027, subject to her continued service on the Board. This is a compensation award rather than an open-market purchase or sale.

Context
RSU grants to directors are a common form of compensation and do not involve an immediate cash purchase or sale of shares; they convert to shares only if and when they vest. Such awards are routine and should be viewed as compensation-related rather than a direct market sentiment signal.
