Haughton Jamal H 4

What Happened

• Jamal H. Haughton, EVP / General Counsel / Corporate Secretary of Charter Communications (CHTR), received equity awards on May 15, 2026: 8,972 stock options and 1,150 restricted stock units (RSUs). The reported acquisition price is $0.00 (these are compensation awards, not purchases), and the filing classifies the transactions as awards/grants (derivative securities).

Key Details

• Transaction date: May 15, 2026; Form 4 filed May 19, 2026.
• Grants: 8,972 stock options (F1) and 1,150 RSUs (F2/F3).
• Vesting: Both the options (F1) and RSUs (F3) vest 100% on May 15, 2029 (three-year cliff).
• Option term: Options terminate 10 years from the grant date (i.e., around May 15, 2036) unless earlier termination per plan/agreement (F1).
• Price/value: Reported as $0.00 for the grant transaction; exercise price for options is not stated in the provided footnotes.
• Shares owned after transaction: Not disclosed in the provided filing.
• Filing timeliness: Form 4 was filed four days after the grant date; insiders are normally required to file within two business days, so this appears later than the usual window.

Context

• These awards are standard equity compensation: options give the right to buy shares later (subject to exercise price and vesting), while RSUs convert to shares (or their cash equivalent) when vested. There is no indication in the filing that any shares were sold or exercised at the time of the grant.
• Such grants are common for executive compensation and do not by themselves indicate a buy/sell signal by the insider.
