Fleming Katherine E. 4

What Happened

• Katherine E. Fleming, a director of AudioEye, received an award of 867 restricted stock units (RSUs) on 2026-04-01. The shares are reported at an acquisition price of $0.00 (code A — award/grant). The RSUs vested on the grant date but will be settled at a later date per the plan provisions.

Key Details

• Transaction date and price: 2026-04-01 — 867 RSUs granted, $0.00 per share (award).
• Shares owned after transaction: not specified in the information provided in this summary (the Form 4 may list beneficial ownership elsewhere).
• Footnote: These RSUs are quarterly grants under the AudioEye, Inc. 2020 Equity Incentive Plan. Though they vested on the grant date, settlement will occur on the earlier of (i) the third anniversary of the grant, (ii) immediately prior to closing of a change in control (but no later than 90 days after such change), or (iii) the calendar year following the year of death (with payment no later than the end of that following year).
• Filing timeliness: Report filed 2026-04-03 for a 2026-04-01 transaction — appears to be a timely Form 4 filing.

Context

• These were RSU awards (compensation), not open-market purchases or sales. While vested RSUs represent a right to receive shares, settlement is deferred per the plan terms, so Fleming does not necessarily receive tradable shares immediately. Awards are common director compensation and should be viewed as routine grants unless combined with other unusual insider activity.
