Monster Beverage (MNST) Director Ana Demel Receives 243-Unit Award
What Happened
Ana Demel, a director of Monster Beverage Corporation (MNST), received a grant of 243 restricted stock units (reported as a derivative award) on 2026-07-08. The RSUs were valued at $95.15 each for a total notional value of $23,121. The transaction is reported as an award/grant (code A), not an open-market purchase.
Key Details
- Transaction date: 2026-07-08; Form 4 filed 2026-07-10 (appears timely).
- Grant size and value: 243 RSUs × $95.15 = $23,121 (derivative award).
- Vesting: 100% of these RSUs vest on the last business day prior to the Company’s 2027 annual stockholder meeting, contingent on continued service as a director (footnote F2).
- RSU settlement: Each RSU represents a contingent right to one share or a cash amount at vesting (footnote F1). The filing also includes footnotes about deferred stock units and settlement terms under the company’s director deferral plan (F5–F7).
- Shares owned after the grant: not specified in this filing (footnote F4 indicates certain lines report holdings as of the date).
Context
This is a compensation award to a non-employee director (an administrative/compensation event) rather than a purchase or sale; awards like RSUs are typical for board pay and do not by themselves indicate buying or selling sentiment. Because these are restricted units, they do not convert to shares (or cash) until they vest under the stated conditions.
