Haughton, EVP, General Counsel and Corporate Secretary of Charter Communications (CHTR), received two equity awards on August 20, 2026: 51,701 stock options (derivative award) and 20,081 restricted stock units (RSUs). The Form 4 shows these as grant/award transactions (code A) and reports $0.00 as the acquisition price on the form (the filing does not disclose an exercise price for the options). These awards were granted under Charter’s 2019 Stock Incentive Plan in connection with the closing of the transactions with Cox Enterprises.

Context
These are compensation awards (not open-market purchases or sales). Options are derivative grants that give the right to buy shares later (subject to vesting and any exercise price), while RSUs convert to shares upon vesting. Such awards are common for executive compensation and reflect long-term incentives rather than immediate trading intent.
