Hall Tiffany M. 4

What Happened

• Tiffany M. Hall, a director of Monster Beverage Corporation (MNST), had derivative/award activity on May 13–14, 2026. The filing shows a conversion/exercise of 2,748 derivative units (code M) on 2026-05-13 and awards/acquisitions (code A) of 2,748 shares on 2026-05-13 and 2,039 shares on 2026-05-14. The 2,039-share award was granted at $0.00 (i.e., a compensation award). No cash purchase or open-market sale is reported.
• Footnotes indicate these were restricted stock units (RSUs) that were settled as shares and the reporting person elected to defer them into deferred stock units under Monster’s Deferred Compensation Plan for Non-Employee Directors. Deferred stock units are economically equivalent to one share each and are payable later per the plan.

Key Details

• Transaction dates and codes: 2026-05-13 (M: conversion/exercise of 2,748 derivative units; A: acquisition of 2,748 RSUs), 2026-05-14 (A: acquisition of 2,039 RSUs at $0.00).
• Total new RSU-related units reported: 2,748 (converted) and awards totaling 4,787 RSUs (2,748 + 2,039).
• Price / value: one award listed at $0.00 (compensation); no cash proceeds reported.
• Shares owned after transaction: not specified in the filing.
• Notable footnotes: RSUs were settled as shares and then deferred (F1, F3, F5–F7); some RSUs vest 100% on the last business day before the 2027 annual meeting if service continues (F4).
• Filing timeliness: Reported period 2026-05-13, filing date 2026-05-15 — appears timely (no late filing flag).

Context

• These entries reflect compensation and deferral of RSUs for a non-employee director, not an open-market buy or sale. Deferred stock units are bookkeeping units tied to the stock and are typically paid in shares (or as elected) at a future date or upon separation/change in control. Such awards are routine director compensation and do not, by themselves, indicate the director is buying or selling stock in the market.
