Ostling Danita K 4

What Happened
Danita K. Ostling, a director of Circle Internet Group, received a grant of 2,018 restricted stock units (RSUs) on May 15, 2026. The RSUs were issued at a $0.00 price (transaction coded A — award/grant), so no cash was paid. The filing reports 22,590 Class A shares held outright plus 2,018 RSUs issuable upon vesting, for a total beneficial interest of 24,608 shares.

Key Details

• Transaction date: May 15, 2026; Form 4 filed May 18, 2026 (three days after the grant date).
• Grant details: 2,018 RSUs @ $0.00 (value recorded as $0 on Form 4).
• Shares after grant: 22,590 shares held outright + 2,018 RSUs = 24,608 total beneficially owned (per footnote).
• Vesting terms (footnote): RSUs vest on the earlier of the issuer’s next annual meeting of stockholders or the first anniversary of the grant, subject to continued service.
• No sale, purchase, or option exercise reported — this is a compensation award, not an open-market trade.

Context
Restricted stock unit grants are compensation and typically contingent on continued service and vesting conditions; they do not represent immediately tradable shares until vested. Such awards are common for directors and do not by themselves indicate a buy/sell signal.
