Hayward (HAYW) Director Diane Dayhoff Receives RSU Award

What Happened

• Diane Dayhoff, a director of Hayward Holdings, Inc. (HAYW), was granted 10,608 restricted stock units (RSUs) on May 21, 2026. The reported acquisition price is $0.00, meaning this was an equity award rather than a cash purchase. No immediate cash value was reported in the filing.

Key Details

• Transaction date: 2026-05-21; Filing date: 2026-05-26. The Form 4 was filed five days after the reported transaction (Form 4s are generally due within 2 business days), so this filing appears late.
• Amount: 10,608 RSUs granted; reported acquisition price: $0.00.
• Shares owned after transaction: not disclosed in the filing.
• Footnote: Each RSU represents a contingent right to one share. Vesting occurs on the earlier of (i) May 21, 2027 or (ii) the date of Hayward's 2027 annual meeting, provided Dayhoff remains in continuous service on the board through vesting.
• Transaction code: A (award/grant). No 10b5-1 plan or tax-withholding details were reported.

Context

• RSU grants are compensation awards that vest over time and do not represent an immediate market purchase or sale. They do not indicate an immediate cash investment or a sale of shares; rather, they create a future entitlement to shares if vesting conditions are met.
