Context

• This is a compensation award (routine grant) rather than a purchase or sale; such grants compensate executives and do not by themselves indicate immediate buying/selling sentiment.
• As a derivative award, value realized will depend on Noble’s future Class A share price at settlement and on the vesting schedule and any plan restrictions.
