Alpern Paul L 4

What Happened
Paul L. Alpern, Vice President and General Counsel of Arteris, Inc. (AIP), was granted 32,385 restricted stock units (RSUs) on February 18, 2026.

Key Details

• Transaction date: 2026-02-18 (reported on Form 4 filed 2026-02-20). This appears to be filed within the typical two-business-day window.
• Transaction type/code: Award/Grant (A). Price reported: $0.00.
• Shares/units granted: 32,385 RSUs. Shares owned after the transaction: not specified in the available filing.
• Vesting: 1/16th of the total RSUs vest on 4/1/2026, then in equal quarterly installments thereafter. RSUs have no expiration date. (Footnote F1)
• No indication of a 10b5-1 plan, tax-withholding sale, or cashless exercise in this filing.

Context: RSUs are a form of equity compensation that convert to shares only after they vest; they carry no exercise price and can be forfeited if vesting conditions aren’t met. This award is a grant (not a market purchase or sale) and therefore is neutral by itself—it reflects compensation/retention rather than an immediate buy or sell signal.
