ROBERTSON RUSSEL C 4

What Happened
Russel C. Robertson, a director of Bausch & Lomb Corp (BLCO), made an open-market purchase of 4,400 common shares on 2026-02-20 at $17.90 per share, a total cash outlay of $78,760. In connection with that purchase he was also granted 4,400 matching restricted share units (MRSUs) (reported as a separate award at $0.00). The purchase is a direct insider buy (commonly viewed as a positive signal), while the MRSUs reflect the company’s matching share program.

• Open-market purchase: 4,400 shares at $17.90 each = $78,760.
• Award/Grant: 4,400 matching RSUs granted at $0.00 (non-cash award).
• Shares owned after transaction: not specified in the filing.
• Footnote: F1 — These are matching restricted share units (MRSUs). One-third of the MRSUs vest on each of the first, second, and third anniversaries of the grant, subject to continued service (except in limited circumstances).

Context
Matching RSUs are commonly provided to encourage insider share ownership and typically vest over time; they are not immediate cash shares until vested and settled. This filing shows a straightforward open-market purchase plus a matching award — factual evidence of an insider buying stock rather than selling, but it does not reveal the insider’s motive.
