HOLTH KRISTIN 4

What Happened
Kristin Holth, a director of Noble Corp plc (NE), received a grant of 6,082 restricted stock units (RSUs) on January 29, 2026. The Form 4 records the award as a derivative acquisition (transaction code A) at $0.00 — the grant itself had no immediate cash price. The RSUs will vest one year from the grant date; upon vesting 60% will be delivered as A Ordinary Shares on a 1-for-1 basis and 40% will be paid in cash based on the share value at vesting.

Context
This is a compensation award to a director, not an open-market purchase or sale. Such RSU grants are common for executive and board pay and do not, by themselves, indicate a personal buy or sell decision about the stock — final value depends on Noble’s share price at the time the RSUs vest.
